Whoa, Nelly! Is that a Firefox 4 download button we're looking at? Why yes... yes it is! We can't think of a much better way to wrap up one's workday than by finding out that Mozilla's own Firefox browser has finally made the official leap to 4.0, with Beta 1 going live for the adoring public today. It's ready to be sucked down and installed for those with Windows, Linux and OS X-based machines, and the changelog itself is far too lengthy for this space (though it's linked below for your perusal). You'll obviously notice an overhauled look hitting you front and center, with a new add-on manager, support for the new WebM format, improved privacy settings and crash protection headlining the "big chart o' features." Give 'er a download and toss your thoughts on the new build down in comments below, cool?

P.S. - Be warned that this may very well not work with your stable of add-ons right away, so we'd keep that stable 3.x.x build installed as a backup!

Seems it fixed the jerky scrolling problem I was having here at BBF.

It only happened here at BBF. I blamed it on an add on, but it wasn't.
Anyways it quit.

What jerky scrolling problem?

It involves eating beef jerky while scrolling - grease gets all over the mouse, and the fingers slip... it's a big problem. :D

It's at Beta 2 now I think. I had a 4.something browser in Windows (I switched to that because Mozilla are providing official 64 bit builds starting with 4, though they call it Minefield) and it actually updated itself.

I had to turn on the menu bars and put the tabs at the bottom and stuff because I hate that dumbed down Google Chrome style user interface. Why does everyone have to copy things that suck?
