This creates a new, smaller tab at the left of the tab bar. In fact, it looks and works a lot like a similar feature in Chrome OS: You can right-click on a tab (for say Gmail, Google Calendar, or other often-visited sites you leave open all day) and choose Pin As App Tab. I say "sort of" here, because it's not exactly the same. The biggest is a new feature called App Tabs, which gives Firefox a replacement, of sorts, for the application shortcut functionality in Chrome and IE 9. Aside from moving the tabs to the top of the window, which I like, Mozilla has improved the tabbed browsing experience in other ways. Yes, you can awkwardly launch searches from the address bar if you want. Unlike other modern browsers, Firefox 4 does not combine the address bar (immaturely called the "Awesome bar") with the search box, but instead leaves them as separate screen-stealing entities. And you can drag toolbar buttons onto the tab bar if you want, too. In fact, this level of customization remains a key strength: It is more customizable than Chrome, and far more customizable than IE. In Firefox's defense, you can at least change the button's location, unlike in IE. The redesigned default toolbar is mostly a success, with attractive buttons and other controls, but I take exception to the IE-like weirdness of moving the Home button way over to the right side of the screen navigation buttons should all be together, on the left. Now, the browser tabs are aligned across the top of the browser window, as they are in Chrome, and the menu bar is hidden by default, though much of that functionality is replaced by a nice new Firefox button we'll get to in a bit. Firefox 4 takes Mozilla's browser in a decidedly new and more attractive direction, in contrast to the ugly mistake that was the previous two versions. What does Firefox 4 bring to the table today? Is it enough to deflect interest in IE 9 and Chrome? What I'm more concerned with, I guess, is the day to day stuff. Firefox has always had excellent web standards support, and that's as expected. In keeping with other recent browser releases-IE 9 and Chrome 10/11-Firefox 4 offers an enhanced JavaScript rendering engine, of course, and better performance, with just enough hardware acceleration to be included in the same conversation as those other browsers.

Slow product development aside, Firefox 4 is indeed a major reimaging of the Firefox web browser and is much more attractive and usable than previous versions, especially under a modern OS like Windows 7. It's a good idea, one that comes from Chrome, actually, one that Microsoft is itself co-opting for Internet Explorer. And a big part of that strategy involves not focusing on these big bang releases for the foreseeable future. Mozilla, for its part, promises to speed up Firefox development going forward. It should see rapid adoption, sure, but the question is whether Firefiox 4 can reverse the stagnation and get the product on a growth path again. But Firefox 4 has been years in the making and it enters a market that is no longer quite so friendly. There was a semi-major release, Firefox 3.5, and then a Firefox 3.6 release as well. Since Firefox 3, Mozilla evolved its browser, but perhaps too slowly. And Firefox's seemingly unstoppable usage share climb actually did stop: It's essentially been stagnant for the past year or so. Firefox's position as the browser of choice for technophiles and others in the know has been usurped, in dramatic and unexpected form, by Google Chrome. Back then, I was a diehard Firefox user and advocate, and had been using the product since it was an early alpha browser called Phoenix.Ī lot has changed since then. The last time I reviewed a major new version of Firefox, it was June 2008 and Mozilla had just delivered Firefox 3.

Version: The version number of the software in the snap package.

Name: The name of the snap package that was installed.

The table columns are fairly self-explanatory, but here’s some clarification: However, these 10 packages have given rise to the 18 SquashFS file systems. canonical* -Īs you can see, there are 10 snap packages installed, not 18. Here’s the entire listing: Name Version Rev Tracking Publisher NotesĬore 16-2.43.3 8689 stable canonical* coreĬore18 20200124 1668 stable canonical* base The output was a little wide, so the end of the listings is shown below. We can use the snap list command, as shown below, to list the installed snap packages: snap list

This is an Ubuntu distribution, so some snap packages are installed right out of the box, and we’ve just installed another one.Īdditionally, when you install snapd, it installs some core snap packages to handle the needs of other snap packages. However, this doesn’t mean there are 18 different snap packages installed on this computer. A /dev/loop device file handles each one, and there are 18 of them.Įach file system is mounted on a directory within the /snap directory. The mounted SquashFS file systems are listed. We’ll use the – t (type) option to limit the output to SquashFS file types only. We can use the df command to quickly check this. The “18” means this is the 18th /dev/loop device file in use on this Linux computer. In this case, they’re mounting the SquashFS filesystem within the snap package. They’re typically used for mounting the file systems in disk images. Loop device files are used to make regular files accessible as block devices. The file system is listed as: /dev/loop18.

RELATED: How to Use the grep Command on Linux The “252” is the release number of this version of gimp. The mount point is in the snap directory here: /snap/gimp/252. This shows us the snap package was mounted as though it were a file system. If we pipe its output into the grep command and search for “gimp,” we isolate the entry for the package we just installed. You can use the df command to check the capacity and usage of the different file systems configured on your Linux computer. All you’ll know is you’ve installed an application, and, now, you have access to it. All of this takes place behind the scenes. It’s then presented to you as a virtual environment. If they’re not installed in the usual way, though, how are they handled? Well, the single package file is downloaded, decompressed, and mounted as a SquashFS virtual file system. You can even install and run applications that need conflicting library versions because each application is in its own sandbox. They aren’t installed in the traditional sense, so they don’t cause any problems with other applications that require different versions of the same resources. The libraries and other resources the application is packaged with or requires are only available to it alone. These systems encapsulate the application together with any dependencies and other requirements in a single compressed file. The application then runs in a sort of mini-container. It’s sandboxed and separated from other applications. AppImage and FlatPak are others you might have encountered. It’s based on a packaging and deployment system called Click, which harkens back to the Ubuntu Touch initiative. Snappy is one of the more popular of these. One solution to these problems is application packing and deployment systems.
