Hello everyone, how are you all doing today?

I will reveal the domain name of the site next week, if you love our site, you will absolutely love the new one once I am done, anyway read on…
Today, Mozilla has released Firefox 34 for Windows, Mac and Linux desktops, the first stable release since last month’s security n’ bug fix update.
Main Feature = Plugin Free Video Calling
Firefox 34 uses ‘Hello Firefox’ Popup so you can video call anyone on your contact list.Making its first appearance in a stable release is Firefox Hello, Mozilla’s WebRTC feature.
Though not enabled for all (you can manually turn it on via about:config), the feature bring plugin-free video and voice calls to the browser. No Skype, no add-ons, no hassle. You simple click the Firefox Hello icon, send your share link to the recipient to initiate a connection (assuming they are also using a WebRTC-enabled browser, like Google Chrome or Opera).
Version 34 also makes it easier to switch themes with live previews and a switcher menu now available on the Customising canvas, here is a preview:

In addition to improved HTML5 support (largely around WebCrypto features) a new WebIDE tool ships in this release, and is packed full of great tools for developers.
From Android connectivity and an in-app editor to support for deploying and testing apps in a Firefox OS simulator. If you haven’t tried Firefox OS in a while, v2.2 (unstable) has plenty to play with including edge swiping, new home screen arranging features, and some new APIs.
