Mozilla Launches Firefox 27 with Improved SocialAPI Notifications



Firefox 27, the new version of Mozilla's flagship browser is out. 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.
