Firefox also has a column of four new bookmark located on the right side column of the search. This menu gives flexibility to users when trying to make bookmarks with one click only.
New Add-On, All Integrated With Browser
Firefox 4 now has an add-on manager who has integrated with a new browser. When a user clicks on an add-on, the display directly to a new browser tab. Hmmm… a bit familiar huh? Looks like Firefox back to ‘cheat’ model similar to Google‘s Chrome extensions.
