Firefox 8 is available for public and it includes built in twitter search

The new version of the Firefox Web browser, Firefox 8 for Windows, Mac and Linux is available for public officially . The update, which actually became available a couple of days ago via Mozilla’s FTP servers, introduces several new features, including a built-in Twitter search option, better management of add-ons and tabs, plus the usual performance and stability fixes.
Mozilla has also updated Firefox for Android, which offers password management and support for saving bookmarks to the device’s homescreen.
The newly added Twitter search functionality is probably the most immediately useful feature of the updated browser, as it lets you search for topics, @usernames and #hashtags directly from Firefox’s combined search/address bar. At launch, Twitter search is available in the English, Portuguese, Slovenian and Japanese versions of Firefox.
