Mozilla has released updates to its Aurora and Beta versions and introduced some big changes for the Firefox on PCs. One of the biggest changes being the add-on sync, which was not present in the Firefox 11 Aurora release.
The users will now be able to mirror the same add-on installations and setting across multiple desktops. Though Google Chrome was able to sync add-ons for a short time, but its implementation has not been good so far. So there is a chance for Firefox to prove their metal and it will be interesting to see how they do it.

Imitating Google Chrome's updates, one more update process is coming to Firefox on Windows. Windows' User Account Control will now only require user input for updates once; thereafter, updates will occur seamlessly when the browser is restarted. The benefit of this is that security updates generally won't require any unusual user action. This is first available in the new Firefox 12 Aurora.
Associating this is a change in Mozilla add-on policy, so that 80 per cent of the add-ons will be marked as compatible by default. That's what Firefox 11 beta is all about. The new beta includes support for Google's SPYD protocol, resulting in faster and safer site loading. It also contains a 3D view for the page Inspector developer's tool, support for importing data from Chrome and a live update option for changing CSS code on the fly.
Firefox 11 is all set to be released in March this year.
