- Firefox 11 Beta on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Alpha
The upcoming Mozilla Firefox 11.0 web browser and Mozilla Thunderbird 11.0 email client just landed in the daily builds of the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Alpha 2 (Precise Pangolin) operating system. Though it will not be the default web browser, as there will be more releases of it until Ubuntu 12.04 LTS reaches maturity on April 2012, Firefox 11.0 will bring the ability to migrate bookmarks, cookies and history from the Google Chrome web browser. Other interesting features in Firefox 11 will be that add-ons can now be synchronized automatically across computers, support for CSS text-size-adjust property, support for outerHTML property on HTML elements, and much more. Download Firefox 11 Beta and Thunderbird 11 Beta right now from Softpedia. Also, don't forget to visit our always up-to-date Firefox Extensions section and Thunderbird Extensions section for the latest add-ons!

Why is Chromium not the default web browser in Ubuntu? I can understand why Chrome isn't, but Choosing Firefox over Chromium is a really * idea. Canonical must be making money from Mozilla or something. And adding a BETA version in a long-term support release is just a bonehead move in and of itself.

Firefox 11 Beta is now available on the ALPHA version of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

The final version of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS will be released on April 26th, 2012.

The final version of Firefox 12 will be released on April 24th, 2012.

So it looks like Ubuntu 12.04 LTS will have Firefox 12 stable.
