Mozilla has recently launched the latest version of its flagship browser - Firefox 35. The new Firefox features an improved version of the free WebRTC based Firefox Hello video chatting service. Earlier in Firefox Hello, users had to sit and wait for their contact to join the room. Now when users start a conversation a window opens showing a self-view until the person invited clicks on the link and joins. When the person being called joins the conversation, the user will be notified with an audio alert and the Hello icon will turn blue.
There have been a couple of other changes in Mozilla Firefox 35 such as improved high quality image resizing performance, built-in support for H264 (mp4) on Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) and newer, new search UI improved and enabled for more locales and various security fixes.
