"Firefox 10 is now available for download and should be pushed via the update channel to all Firefox users over the next few days. The latest release brings a number of features, though regular users will only notice some small tweaks and changes, like the removal of the forward button, unless it's needed.Developers though have it better, Firefox 10 brings a number of changes that should improve the existing dev tools but also comes with a few new tools as well.
Add-ons compatible by default
The big new feature in Firefox 10, at least in terms of impact, is default add-on compatibility. All add-ons that are listed as supporting Firefox 4 or greater will be allowed to work and be installed in Firefox 10.
Some of them may need to be updated and may still be incompatible, but this is judged on a case-by-case basis, unless they are proven not to work, add-ons will be marked as compatible.
This should mean that people will find it easier to update to a new Firefox version and won't be stuck with old, unsafe and unsupported versions simply because their favorite add-ons don't work."
