Whether you're browsing for fun or work (or even for fun while at work), you don't want unnecessary interruptions slowing you down or getting in the way of what you're doing. That's what latest features in Firefox are all about: to give you a more seamless browsing experience.

Here are the latest changes we made to make browsing better:

Private browsing
We've had lots of requests for this one: Now you can open a Private Browsing window without closing your current session.

Downloads
Never search for your download window again. Monitor your download progress right from the toolbar.

PDF’s
Rather than downloading PDFs and hunting for them on your computer, you can view them directly in your browser window.

Whatever you're doing, stop, stand up and step away from the computer. (On second thought, finishing reading this newsletter first, then do that.)

While we love the Web a lot, we also know that sitting in front of a computer all day can be bad for you. So two of our U.S. editors, Carmen and Jess, found some add-ons that remind you to get up and get active from time to time.

Read about the add-ons that can add some years to your life and add them to your Firefox.

When you open a link in an email, does it open in Firefox? Don't worry, we're not checking up on you, but if you want to make Firefox your browser of choice for those (and all) kinds of links, it's easy.
