Firefox browser now comes with instant messaging

WASHINGTON DC: Mozilla has released Firefox 41 browser for desktop and Android users. According to the Engadget, the company says that it is now the first browser to have built-in instant messaging.

Also as we expected, the iPhone 6S looks identical to last year's 4.7-inch iPhone 6 , reserving its most important changes for the hardware interior. True, there is a new color now, called rose gold (it basically looks like a blush pink, same as the new Apple Watch color option that the company announced). But as far as looks go, this extra shade is the extent of the the changes you'll be able to visually detect between this year's and last year's phones.
