As mentioned above, the latest CCleaner version comes with optimized cleaning for Mozilla’s Firefox browser. The latest version, Firefox 21, which was released earlier this May, boosts the browser’s social capabilities. The Social API that was introduced with Firefox 17 received support for more providers with Firefox 21. Facebook was the original social integration partner in Firefox, the first provider to be supported by the social API. Cliqz, Mixi, and msnNOW now sit alongside Facebook and are supported by the Social API.

Thanks to the Social API, social services can be integrated into the browser, thus allowing you to have a more social browsing experience within Firefox. Features such as a social sidebar, toolbar notification buttons and the ability to easily chat with your friends are provided by the Social API. As you surf the web, you can stay connected to your favorite social site and with your friends; you do not have to open lots of tabs and switch between them while surfing the web.
