Firefox 13 with its new startpage

Firefox 13 is now available for update/download, the update will match up with the Google’s Chrome(they said), it will also have a new homescreen page and “fancy” tab screens  and it will support the Google-backed SPDY protocol that will improve the load times of sites that suppoirt it.

Firefox 13 now only loads the first tab you see and will not load restored background tabs just to improve its speed.

The new home screen looks like the Google Chrome screen that will bring you the thumbnail view of the most visited sites and you can also drag bookmarks, unlike the old Firefox it will take time to load your home page screen and it ha s a new dowload feature  that you can copy a URL page or a file and place it directly on the download manager’s window and it will start downloading the file.
