Another new version of Firefox was released yesterday: 33.1.

According to the release notes, new features in version 33.1 include a ‘forget’ button, and the ability to use DuckDuckGo as the default search engine. These changes are in keeping with Mozilla’s push to improve privacy in the browser: the Forget button allows the user to remove cookies and history related to recent browsing, and DuckDuckGo’s search engine does not remember searches.

As usual, there was no formal announcement. There was an associated post on the main Mozilla blog, but that post makes no reference to the new version.

On a more positive note, the What’s New section of the release notes for this version have been pruned down to show only changes in this version, although the link to ‘all changes’ still shows about 3500 Bugzilla items, making it essentially useless.
