Major change is that it has a silent updater like chrome. Other thing is that they have removed the favicon in their nightly builds because of user security. They thought that sites are using the padlock as favicon to disguise sites as Secure sights which is misleading . Dont know if this will be rolled out in the next version of firefox.

Official Note:

[font=Georgia,]We put a lot of work into making the [/font]Firefox update experience[font=Georgia,] easier. Firefox simplifies the update process for Windows users by [/font]removing the user account control dialog (UAC) pop-up[font=Georgia,] while maintaining the security of your system. Once a user gives explicit permission to Firefox on their first installation, they will not be prompted again for subsequent releases.[/font]

[font=Georgia,]Firefox also includes more than [/font]85 improvements[font=Georgia,] to built-in developer tools. For example, developers no longer need to reload the page to see messages in the Web Console, and Scratchpad adds Find and Jump to Line commands to the editor. Our improvements touched on every one of the built-in tools.[/font]
