Firefox 4 Beta 1 is finally released and officially available for download at Mozilla Firefox site. Beta 1 of Firefox 4 is available for Windows, Mac and Linux only in English language as of now.
Firefox 4 Beta 1 includes dozens of major features and improvements – You can test it and submit your feedback using the easy to use ‘Feedback button’ located at top right corner. Firefox 4 Beta is considered to be stable and safe to use for daily web browsing, though you cannot use many Add-ons as they may not be tested by their authors.
On Windows, the most noticeable feature is the new look of the browser with tabs moved to the top. In Windows 7 & Vista, the Menu bar is replaced with a single Firefox button to get most used options with just one click. These changes will be coming soon for Mac and Linux. Some new features offered by Firefox 4 beta:
- 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 plugin 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.
