Download Firefox 24 Final For PC & Android
Releasing two versions at once, Mozilla has recently revealed the final bits of Firefox 24 for both PC and Android.
Looking at the changelog, Firefox 24 appears to be mostly focused towards the mobile users, at least in terms of added functionality. When it comes to Android branch, you can expect WebRTC support, tab sharing between users using NFC and a Night mode in Reader.
For the desktop, Mozilla included an ability to tear-off chat windows and closing tabs to the right. That’s pretty much it as far as important changes go.

“Implemented Close tabs to the right”
been waiting for this for so so long ….
Close tabs to the right, a feature I already had in other browsers and never ever used, nor intend to do in any future.
NFC sharing is pretty cool!
