Upcoming versions of Firefox will coordinate across devices, continue to be customizable, and put users in control of their information. The browser will also not move away from its open source path. Contributions from the community are allowed by the browser. Information about the progress of the JavaScript engine will be publicized soon. However, details on developer tools, add-ons, customizations, plug-ins, and distribution have already been posted.

A more ‘stream-lined search field’ will be included in the FireFox 5. Users can easily know which search engine is in use because FireFox 5 will be color coded. Users would be allowed to create their own menus by the new ‘Site-Specific’ and users have alternatives that would be ‘specific’ for that website. The ‘locations’ will seem on the base. Websites, which are off the main domain, would expediently open as a “new tab” in the main window while history and bookmarks will be eliminated.

The user will be allowed to select a particular add-on and able to enable/disable auto-updates by the new user ‘add on’ selection screen. Users will be also allowed to ‘sync’ passwords, web history, bookmarks, and preferences on both the desktop and mobile phone applications by Firefox Sync. The use of specialized web applications made for increasing the functionality of a website are allowed by Firefox 5’s new options and facilities.
