Firefox bakes instant messaging into latest version
Found on CNet News on Wednesday, 23 September 2015
Released on Tuesday, Firefox 41 for the desktop now offers a built-in instant messaging feature via the browser's Firefox Hello feature. Introduced last October, Firefox Hello lets you initiate free video or audio chats with fellow Firefox users.
Mozilla continues to try to enhance Firefox with each new version. But the browser has seen better days in terms of overall use.
It's not like we have enough messengers already, no, now Mozilla has to bake another feature into Firefox. Back in the old days, Firefox got popular because it did what it was meant to do: being a simple browser after the Netscape blob turned out to be a mess.
