Firefox Version 4 !!! It's excellent!

[Kym]

I've been running Firefox 4 (beta versions, now beta 11) and it's excellent, also very fast.
Edit: I'm now running the Beta12 'candidate' build. 25/Feb Beta 12 next week and RC soon after

The new layout with tabs on the top (Windows Aero) is a big improvement re: vertical screen space.

If you're not technical then stick with V3.6 for a few months until all your plugins are upgraded.

If you're a techie then go for it now! Use the Nightly tester Tools to override plugin compatibility.

The final release is due around the end of February March.

For the early adopters, use the British dictionary as the Aussie one needs upgrading.

Upgrade:
Install the FEBE plugin to backup your cookies, bookmarks, passwords etc.
Then uninstall Firefox 3.x (and delete all personal data)
Install Firefox 4
Install FEBE (the V7 beta that is Firefox 4 compatible)
Restore your bookmarks, cookies and passwords.
Install the other plugins you need
