Firefox 20 adds new panel-based download manager

Mozilla has rolled out Firefox 20, the latest version of the awesome browser. It adds a couple of new features - the most notable one being the panel-based download manager. The new downloads panel lets you view the progress of ongoing downloads on the same window. But you can always change back to the old downloads window by clicking on the "Show All Downloads" link at the bottom of the panel.

Another interesting feature of Firefox 20 is the Per Window Private Browsing mode. This makes it possible for you to view a Web page in private browsing mode and regular browsing mode simultaneously, in two separate Firefox windows. You can easily open a link in a new Private Browsing Window, just right click on any link and choose “Open Link in a New Private Window". The new Firefox also gives you the ability to close hanging plugins without the browser hanging.
