Firefox 4
Firefox 4 is officially out for both Windows and Linux.
There's a 64-bit version now, as well.
So, what's new: it appears to be faster than v3.6.x, they combined a few buttons, and I guess on the Windows side they also put the tabs over the Window bar at the top.
There's also a nice little feature called 'app tab'. Got sites you always have open, such as Gmail or DevHardware? Just right-click the tab, pin it as an app tab and your folder will go to the left side, pinned there as an icon.

I gotta agree with archnaid--I've been using Chrome for a while now and have no plans to go back to FF. Chrome is still faster, leaner, and more stable. Flash crashes all the time on FF for me--not once in Chrome. And I love Chrome's built-in PDF viewer. And FF4 still doesn't have separate process tabs--Chrome has had that for years now.

WELL now! It is good to see all my OLD friends have not changed while I was paddling my boat on the other side of the world hehe.
Both have there uses.
For games is Chrome hands down, anything using flash is awesome.
But I find FF still is my base Browser, I find it easy to use and
has more toys and you know how I like toys. (Plus porn is easier to watch... )
some other Browsers that I find useful Opera and Safari.
FF 4.0 has one thing I dislike, it takes up a lot of screen room with nothing but empty space.
Glad to be back with all of you and yes I missed you

The old one was more condensed, this one has a 1/2 inch border top and bottom and 1/4inch on the sides, the buttons are huge, loses about 1/6th the total screen top to bottom.

It is something how both Firefox 4 and Internet Explorer 9 have taken on the slimmer and simpler look of Chrome. I have all three but still mainly stick with Firefox 4. Even Internet Explorer 9 with its new look is not as annoying to use as it used to.
