Firefox 4 Beta available now

Mozilla have released the Beta version of its long awaited Firefox web browser updates and this time it’s a more substantial upgrade to the Firefox 4 release.
The Beta version is now available for anyone to download from the Mozilla website, but as the release is still in a Beta from then you should expect a few bugs and inconsistencies until Firefox is up and running properly.
Now, this is the initial Beta 1 test for the browser so there will probably be additional Beta testing in the future. In the official Mozilla Blog its states:
“Firefox 4 Beta 1 is now ready to download and test! This first version gives an early look at what’s planned for Firefox 4. Stay tuned, because there is more to come and we plan to release new beta versions every two to three weeks. Your feedback is essential to help shape the product which is why we’re launching now to hear from you early in our development process.”

Features wise the Firefox 4 update is a little more than just a facelift as it includes many new features such as:

• New Add-Ons Manager: gives you more space to manage your Add-Ons, Themes and Plugins. Customizing your browser has never been easier!
• HD Video: Watch hardware-accelerated, super-smooth, HD-quality HTML5 video on YouTube using the new WebM format.
• Privacy improvements: Mozilla always puts privacy first, and this latest beta fixes flaws in some Web standards that could expose your browser history.
• Crash Protection: Experience uninterrupted browsing (now available on all platforms) – when a plug-in crashes or freezes, you can resume browsing by simply refreshing the page.
• Performance: We know that performance is important. In this version, we focused on improving responsiveness at start-up and during page loads. This is just the beginning for performance improvements in Firefox 4.

The Big thing to remember if you want to try out the latest version of Firefox is that it will be very buggy, and you should also expect that many of your favourite add-ons will have issues and maybe not work at all.
If you are unsure or heavily rely on stability and Add-Ons of Firefox on a day by day basis then we wouldn’t recommend running the Beta, but if like us you just want to have it first and see what’s going on… then go to www.mozilla.com/firefox/beta and get downloading.
