Firefox 3 Beta 4 Released

Yesterday Mozilla released new beta version of Firefox 3, the beta 4. On this new beta version, Mozilla developers include more than 900 enhancements from the previous beta 3, add performance boost, increase the stability and improve the user interface.

Firefox 3 is based on the Gecko 1.9 Web rendering platform, which on the release note web page said that it has been developed since the last 31 months. Within 31 months, Mozilla developers already made 12.000 updates, re-architecting and simplifying the codes.

To download the latest Firefox 3 Beta 4, you can go to this web page: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html

To read the release notes you can go to this web page: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.0b4/releasenotes/

Remember that this is still a beta version and not stable yet, there are a lot of issues which developers still need to fix. If you interested to install it, I remind you to use it only for testing.

I guess Mozilla will release one more beta version before they release it as stable version. I hope they can release the stable version soon, as I can’t wait for it.

  1. actually I wanna use it as my default browser, but thanks for remind me that it’s still beta and not stable

  2. I think it’s more than just 1 beta :D
    there’s still several RCs before it’s marked as final version

  3. aku udah nyoba beta testernya, tapi sayangnnya masalah di url barnya..

    agak membingungkan, kalo di FF sebelumnya khan otomatis ngeluarin history url, nah kalo yang baru ini, history title dan url site yang pernah di kunjungin nya nampil, jadi agak membingungkan!!!

    tapi firefox tetap paling keren deh!

  4. Masih setia dengan Opera. :)

  5. @willy: yes you are right, but at least RC is more stable than a beta version :D

    @ridho: that is the new feature, I found it confusing too, but they add some algorithm to put the most frequently visited website on top of the list.

  6. anybody…does firefox 3 beta 4 load webpages faster than the other?
    i didn’t try it yet, better i wait the final release version.
    i love firefox verymuch, eventhough i made this comment by using Opera :lol:

  7. I haven’t try it.. as I don’t want to install beta again.. I did try beta 2 and it is slightly faster when launching firefox

  8. so far, i have been testing the Beta version (from beta 3) and no major problem here (Linux Slackware-Current)
    i have considered it stable :)
