Firefox 14 Launches, Now Encrypts Your Google Searches By Default

firefox-200Mozilla today launched Firefox 14, the latest version of its popular browser. As usual, this new version doesn't introduce any major new interface redesigns or other radical changes, but it does come with a number of welcome new featuresthat should make the browsing experience a bit more pleasant and safer. The most interesting change from a user perspective is probably that Firefox now automatically uses a secure HTTPS connection for all your Google searches using the location bar, search box and right-click menu. This should make searching with Firefox safer on public and shared WiFi networks. According to Mozilla, "Google is currently the only search engine that allows Firefox to make your searches private, but we look forward to supporting additional search engines with this feature in the future."
