http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/05/firefoxlogo.jpg (http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/17/firefox-22-beta/)Though Mozilla has long been a proponent of WebRTC (http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/04/chrome-and-firefox-now-talking-to-each-other-through-webrtc-chat/) for plugin-free video and voice chat, it hasn't been ready (http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/08/firefox-browser-updated/) to enable the full protocol in Firefox as a matter of course. It's more confident as of this week: the newly available Firefox 22 beta turns on complete WebRTC use by default, allowing for both live web conversations and peer-to-peer file swaps. There's more to the release as well, depending on the platform. Windows users receive support for HiDPI displays, like that of the Kirabook (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/17/toshiba-kirabook-hands-on/); every desktop user also gets gaming-friendly OdinMonkey (http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/21/firefox-nightly-odinmonkey/) JavaScript tuning, a web notification API and a font inspector. Android users won't have WebRTC and other upgrades for now, but everyone can experiment with the latest Firefox beta at the source links.
