The new Mozilla Firefox Web browser will be such a change that calling it a browser may be archaic, a vice president of the U.S. Web applications firm said. "Maybe we shouldn't even call it a browser anymore," Firefox Engineering Vice President Jonathan Nightingale told the TechCrunch information technology news website. "'Browser' is really an antiquated word," he said. "People don't really browse all that much anymore." Instead, Web users largely use browsers to get sophisticated Web applications and Web productivity tools and connect through social networks, he said. The new Firefox version 25, being dubbed Australis, will be cleaner and more intuitive than existing Firefox versions, and will have new design features, he told TechCrunch. Beta versions should be available soon but the official release might not happen until October, he said.
