Firefox 4 Beta Debuts

[ Thanks to James

“Mozilla is out this week with the first public beta
for its next-generation open source Firefox 4 Web browser. With the
latest browser update, Mozilla is adding a host of features to
drive performance and support HTML5, offline storage and add-ons,
while also improving the user interface over the current Firefox
3.6 release.

“Though the new Firefox 4 Beta 1 release is available for
Window, Linux and Mac users, the first beta does not offer the same
user interface for all users.

“Microsoft Windows users will be getting a new user interface
and Windows 7 and Vista users get the new Firefox button which
consolidates browser menu functions. Linux and Mac users will get
the new interface in a future beta release. The development release
cycle is set to proceed with rapid iterations, so Linux and Mac
users might not have to wait too long to be brought up to speed
with their Windows peers.”
