Now that we have covered the best Firefox add-ons of 2011, it is time to look at the best tips for the browser as well. A lot has changed development wise in 2011. Mozilla has switched to the rapid release process after the release of Firefox 4 which has increased the version of the browser to 9 (stable) at the end of 2011. That's five new versions in less than a year, and the prospect to see Firefox 18 to be released at the end of 2012.

Mozilla is facing more competition than ever. First and foremost from Google's Chrome browser that is posed to overtake the Firefox web browser in market share in 2012 (depending on the stats you are looking at it may have already happened).
