Mozilla has officially released Firefox 13 (http://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2012/06/05/firefox-has-a-redesigned-home-page-and-new-tab-experience-that-make-browsing-the-web-faster-and-easier/). Unlike Firefox 12 (or 11, or 10, or indeed many of the recent Firefox versions), Firefox 13 is an important release with a handful of much-needed features that are long overdue (http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/13.0/releasenotes/). There's a new New Tab Page launcher, with your favorite and most-used websites, and a new default home page with one-click access to Bookmarks, Settings, Add-ons, etc. SPDY is on by default, too, which should help ameliorate the perceived speed difference between Chrome and Firefox (http://www.extremetech.com/computing/130485-firefox-13-released-new-tab-page-and-homepage-launcher-and-spdy-on-by-default). Finally, the developer tools (Page Inspector, Style Inspector, etc.) have been tweaked and updated!
