Firefox 19 for Windows, Mac and Linux available for download
While Mozilla has still not officially made the next release of the popular desktop web browser, Firefox 19, available on its website, the browser is now available for download through Mozilla's servers via FTP.

The release finally brings a built-in PDF viewer to the browser allowing users to view .pdf documents within the web browser. According to the Firefox beta release notes, the release also brings in other changes and fixes to the browser.

A report by TheNextWeb also hints at a new Android release of the Firefox browser. The beta release of the smartphone browser brought features such as themes and integration with the Google search widget.

Mozilla had recently rolled out a new build of the Firefox web browser for the developers, offering a touch-oriented UI and following the 'Metro'(Modern) design style of Windows 8 apps. There is no word on when the company plans to make this version available to all, but it should not take Mozilla long to do that.
