Firefox 4.0 Beta 1 is here!

I was checking for updates this morning through File Hippo (one of the best updater finders on the market), and the Firefox 4.0 Beta 1 was there. I downloaded it, it gives you a separate shortcut from your current version of Firefox.

It's really different from previous versions, looks and all. Check it out, I feel that you'll enjoy this one, and it's appearing that Firefox is going to meet their goal of 4.0 (full version), released by late fall/early winter. Enjoy!

I must admit.I could not see any big difference?
Maybe I screwed up the install, and not at all serious, but I found I could not open the earlier version together with the Beta (or the other way around)

two new add ons in the drop downs which I am investigating, though.
Try "tools - Head up display" neat and "inspect."

And you can see this user's post how to enable plugins that are currently incompatible.

Nice!

What I hate in FF 4.0b and W7 is that if you have tabs open, it makes own "windows" for them in the taskbar. :/
