Mozilla has released Firefox 14.01 final! Firefox 14's most notable new features are the switching on of secure connections when performing Google searches for better privacy, plus an updated site identity indicator system in the Address bar. It also introduces silent updates for Windows users for the first time which alows Firefox to update itself automatically and silently, while OS X Lion users can enjoy native full-screen support for the first time.

Firefox 14.0.1 also sees Mozilla drop the Favicon from the Address Bar (instead it'll appear in the Tab) in favor of a unified approach designed to make it easier to identify a site's security status, with grey globes indicating unsecured and a choice of grey or green padlocks for websites using SSL Certificates depending on whether or not they have Extended Validation.

..secure connections when performing Google searches for better privacy

Now you can search for "stuff" without worrying about your ISP's preying eyes. :lol:

yeah, Firefox and Chrome have been doing this for quite some time. It will continue with most of these browsers as well.
