FireFox 4.0b1 released

[Psyko]

What's new?

• Tabs are now on top by default on Windows only - OSX and Linux will be changing when the theme has been modified to support the change.
• On Windows Vista and Windows 7 the menu bar has been replaced with the Firefox button.
• You can search for and switch to already open tabs in the Smart Location Bar
• New Addons Manager and extension management API (UI will be changed before final release)
• Significant API improvements are available for JS-ctypes, a foreign function interface for extensions.
• The stop and reload buttons have been merged into a single button on Windows, Mac and Linux.
• The Bookmarks Toolbar has been replaced with a Bookmarks Button by default (you can switch it back if you'd like).
• Crash protection for Windows, Linux, and Mac when there is a crash in the Adobe Flash, Apple Quicktime or Microsoft Silverlight plugins.
• CSS Transitions are partially supported.
• Full WebGL support is included but disabled by default at this time.
• Core Animation rendering model for plugins on Mac OS X. Plugins which also support this rendering model can now draw faster and more efficiently.
• Native support for the HD HTML5 WebM video format.
• An experimental Direct2D rendering backend is available on Windows, turned off by default.
• Web developers can use Websockets for a low complexity, low latency, bidirectional communications API.
• Web developers can update the URL field without reloading the page using HTML History APIs.
• More responsive page rendering using lazy frame construction.
• Link history lookup is done asynchronously to provide better responsiveness during pageload.
• CSS :visited selectors have been changed to block websites from being able to check a user's browsing history.
• New HTML5 parser.
• Support for more HTML5 form controls.

[petfood56]

wow i just installed it it looks a little like chrome only way better

[stwilliams420]

So far so good. I like the new look, and everything seems to be working.

Okay, I just installed it. The only two things (that I noticed) that I don't like are the tabs are now on top, and the icons I put on the file edit view etc panel (Chatzilla) is stretched out. Other than that, it's good.

Downloaded and installed. It looks like Opera 10! Look at the comparison I made below.

Wow, it really does look like Opera! The reload button is the exact same, but upside down!
