Firefox 12 Aurora Removes OS Security Dialog for Windows

Mozilla finished migrating the code to Aurora, and, as a result, what’s to turn into Firefox 12 stable on April 24, is now available for download. It brings to the table some interesting features, which, hopefully, will not be pushed back and will move to more stable versions of the web browser.

One important feat the development team managed to achieve is the removal of the security prompt generated by Windows’ UAC (user account control). Actually, this is currently available in Firefox Aurora 12, but further testing is necessary.

Another feature targeted for this release, but now available in the nightly build, is inline autocomplete feature. This would make the browser feel faster as it would cut on user input when typing URLs.

Also planned for Firefox 12 is the Home Tab. However, development is carried out in Firefox UX and only the specs for phase one are complete, so it may stay in Aurora for some time.
