[wraggster]

"Firefox 12 has been officially released (http://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2012/04/24/firefox-introduces-a-simpler-update-process-and-more-than-85-improvements-to-developer-tools/), with only one major new feature: A silent, background updater. Now you will have to approve the Firefox Software Updater when you first install Firefox, but after that the browser will update silently — just like Chrome (http://www.extremetech.com/computing/127295-firefox-12-released-takes-chrome-mimicry-to-the-next-level). In other news, the Find feature now reliably centers the page on any matches — hooray!"Here are the release notes (http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/12.0/releasenotes/), the list of bug fixes (http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/12.0/releasenotes/buglist.html), and the download page (http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/).
