Firefox 25 brings Web Audio Support, Find Bar No Longer Shared Between Tabs


Mozilla has released Firefox 25 which brings some changes to the browser - the most notable being the Web Audio support. Though the web has some support for audio already but the Web Audio API extends the existing Audio Data API and enables developers to improve audio support for browser based games, apps and services significantly. Also in the new Firefox 25 the Find Bar which earlier used to be shared between the tabs will be no longer shared. This means that the bar will appear in only that tab in which it has been opened. Firefox has also added an option to migrate history and settings from other browsers in case you are away from it for months. A couple of security and bug fixes have also been made in this version of Firefox. Check out the complete release notes for the full list of changes.
