Firefox 14 Hides Your Searches from Prying Eyes
Found on Webmonkey on Thursday, 19 July 2012
Mozilla has released Firefox 14, a modest update with some small new features and support for encrypted searching, which will keep your Google queries safe from anyone snooping around your network.
The most visible change in this release — at least for those who keep an eye on the URL bar — is the new secure search feature. The change means that Firefox’s built-in search bar now sends searches to Google’s SSL-encrypted HTTPS address by default.
Seriously, that's it? That justifies an entirely new major version? All Mozilla practically did was to copy the "HTTPS Everywhere" extension. What will be the great new feature of Firefox 15? A fixed typo in about:config?
