Firefox 24 ships with Close Tab to Right and tear-off social chat window features
Mozilla has launched Firefox 24.0 FINAL for Windows, Mac and Linux. There are no major surprises in the final build, with all new and changed features highlighted in the Beta migrating across to the new version.
Two changes that are exclusive to the final version are removed support for the Revocation Lists feature, and the promise of performance improvements when loading new tab pages, attained simply by enabling new tab page preloading as the default behavior.
The only new features of note in Firefox 24 are a new option that allows users to right-click a tab and close all tabs to its right, plus the ability to “tear” off social chat windows to allow users to view them separately -- just click and drag the chat pane away from the main Firefox window.
