Firefox 3 Beta 4 has been released.
Anyone else testing with me? I've replaced Firefox 2 ever since the second beta came out - this one's more stable and a hell of a lot faster (even if you use fasterfox).
I'm also beta testing Opera 9.5, but sadly, it isn't anywhere near as stable as this thing is.

Oh, and it uses less resources

edit: zomg, gmail is so much faster with this version...

I'm gonna wait till the final version of Firefox 3 comes out...I had beta 3 and nothing worked with it. So I'll just stick with the latest version of 2.

I hate you. Now I'll have to wait a week or so for the extensions that finally got working to work again. Oh well. *restarts*

Just installed it, very nice.
Although for webdev I'll still have to use FF2, as ColorZilla, MeasureIt! and Firebug don't work in FF3.

I'm liking the improvements over 3b3. And most of the extensions that worked with the previous version work with it.

Anyone know how to move the home button back to where it was in version 2.0?

In FF3 I think it's under the bookmark toolbar... But I just use Alt+Home... I want to customize it though, so that it's ctrl+space like in opera

beta 5 should be the final beta, released at the end of this month, so I'm guessing that the final version will be around mid/end april.

Well here is what I think of it so far. It does take up far less memory at times and has a nice save feature if you have to leave you computer in a hurry. But the new downloads box has got to go. I liked he option to delete them in mass if I wanted now I have to right click each one and delete it. Also, I noticed it is a LITTLE slower than before. Does anyone know if those tweaks you do in the config page work with 3.0?

Beta 4 seems a tad slower than Beta 3. I'm hoping they'll iron that out. Also, javascript is a lot more...laggy now

After Beta 5, it will move on to Release Candidate stage

I tried it on a computer with 2 monitors and had a nasty problem with the page starting out hugely zoomed. Anyone else used the beta with 2 monitors?
