With the 'New Tab' feature, when users open a new tab, they will be presented with thumbnails of their most recent and most frequented pages i.e. they get suggestions which can of course be customized. This makes getting to the sites you love an one-click-away thing. Managing your favorite sites is possible easily by dragging the previews and locking them into place by clicking the pushpin on the top left of the site preview thumbnails. Then, we have the new redesigned Home Page that keeps all your essentials in a central start location. So, you have access to the Bookmarks, History, Settings, Add-ons, Downloads and Sync Preferences at one place. Since this is an early stage feature; we can expect more from the future releases. And the Awesome Bar is awesome because it completes the URLs as you type them.

Other features new in Firefox Aurora are:

    [*]Awesome Bar Auto-Complete
    [*]Tabs on demand
    [*]Smooth scrolling
    [*]SPDY (on by default)
    [*]#-Link-Snipped-#
