The big change is a redesign of the address bar, which comes with some tweaks to how searches work when you're using it.

The drop-down that appears when you click in the search bar will show you multiple options for where to search, like Google or Amazon. That same view will show additional keyword suggestions as you type, with the goal being exposing "additional popular keywords that you might not have thought of to narrow your search even further," according to the blog post announcing the redesign.

At the same time, Firefox is on a steady downhill tour. Mozilla should stop concentrating on UI sugar and deliver a useful browser again.
