Firefox 27 Beta Arrives with Simultaneous SocialAPI Notifications


Firefox 27 Beta is out just two days after the release of the stable version of Firefox. There has been no significant changes or improvements in this version of the browser except the introduction of simultaneous SocialAPI notifications. This is just a tweaking of the feature. The new update will enable users to run more than one service at a time with Firefox SocialAPI, allowing them to receive notifications, chat and more from multiple integrated services. Earlier users could only see notifications from the social provider indicated in their Firefox toolbar. For full list of changes in Firefox 27 Beta, here are the release notes.
