It was only in February that beta 3 for Firefox 3 was released, and now Mozilla is out with a new and improved beta 4 for the browser. The beta 4 version, like last time, is aimed at Web developers and testers to generate feedback and betterments in order to take a step further towards the final version of Firefox 3.

Firefox 3 beta 4 claims to have nearly 900 enhancements over the last beta -- in terms of performance, stability, user interface, etc.

For instance, the download manager in beta 4 promises to make it easier to locate downloaded files; also where the download originated and other information around it. Another new feature promises to allow users to zoom in and out on pages through keyboard shortcuts.

Performance-wise, beta 4 is claimed to be able to make Web applications like Google Mail and Zoho Office run twice as fast as in Firefox 2.0. Besides, it's claimed to hog less memory.

And while it was earlier thought that this would be the final beta release before final release of Firefox 3, there's a reported beta 5 in the works. And that's not all, code freeze for beta 5 will likely be on Tuesday, March 18th, 2008.

I use betas but never bothered to dwnload FF... usually I don't install as soon as a beta comes.. after sm time I read comments n thn install if it's ok... but I'll directly go if it's in RC level...

well... I agree... sm ppl say tht sm extensions might not work... no prob with me coz i'm not tht sort of an extension guy.... but this installs seperately.. so u can install it n test it..... n i guess rather than firefox adopting for those extensions, those extensions will release new versions that'll support firefox 3.0..

lol.. it says...


Mozilla Firefox 3 Beta 4 has been released for testing. The fourth beta of the next major Firefox version offers over 900 bug fixes over Beta 3, including improvements in download manager, full page zoom, better integration with Vista, Mac OS X and Linux, and significant improvements in speed and memory usage.


So nothing much on the UI as u expect :P ;)
