Mozilla announced the release of Firefox 4.0 public beta today. The beta of 4.0 has been out for a while, but only the techiest people dared to try it because of bugs and other various problems that goes along with beta software. However, this new beta includes pleanty of new features that makes one of our favorite little browsers even better.
One of the new features in version 4.0 of Firefox is a updated user interface featuring tabs on top of the window (similar to how Chrome and Safari's tabs are placed). This new user interface is currently only available to Windows users, but Mac and Linux users shouldn't worry as this will be added in a future update to the beta.
Additionally, Firefox 4.0 brings:
-New Add-ons manager
-WebM video support for HD videos
-Better HTML 5 support
-More privacy features
Mozilla also announced that support for syncing bookmarks, passwords, and settings will be coming in a future update along with more speed improvements. Of course, the syncing support should also come handy in conjunction with the Firefox Home application Mozilla announce earlier.
You can view all of the new Firefox 4.0 features and download the new beta to try out for yourself on the Mozilla website.
