Firefox 4 Beta 1 Released

on July 7, 2010 | Internet Browsers Mozilla | Comments (0)

Mozilla has now released the first beta for their new browser, Firefox 4.

Firefox is the 2nd most popular browser in the world with around 25% market share. This is one of several betas no doubt going to be released for Firefox 4.

To download the new beta goto: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/beta/

Firefox 4 is a major upgrade from its previous versions including a redesign of the user interface, enhanced HTML5 support, hardware-accelerated HD video, WebSockets and advanced add-on support via Jetpack.

As this is an early beta expect crashes and broken functionality from time to time. I wouldn’t upgrade just yet if you are working and cannot afford disruptions like that.

Mozilla really needs Firefox 4 to be a winner as Google Chrome has been stealing browser marketshare from Firefox over the past couple months.

If you download the beta release let us know what you think of the functionality.

Just recently Opera Software released a new version of their browser, Opera 10.68.
