The dialog box will present an initial selection of only add-ons that were installed from within Firefox, though users can make their own choice. When users upgrade to the new version, they'll see a dialog box one time that lets them disable add-ons. Add-ons such as toolbars that are installed by third-party software won't run until the user grants permission. With this setting, other tabs reload only when they're viewed.
When Firefox restores tabs from a previous session, for example when the browser or computer is restarted, it can be set to load only the active tab initially. When people drag tabs into a new position or tear them off into a new window, the tabs are represented by an animated version of the tab rather than just a thin line.

The Firefox 8 beta (download for Windows | Mac | Linux | Android) is the newest to be released with Mozilla's six-week development cycle, in which the organization's programmers update the browser with fewer but more frequent changes. As part of its rolling wave of updates, Mozilla today released a new beta version of Firefox that gives some new options for searching, controlling tabs, and managing add-ons.
