Firefox 4 Beta 1 Launched
Mozilla has launched the first beta for Firefox 4. The new iteration of the world’s second most famous web browser, which could be downloaded here, has been hotly prepared for during nearly a year. Today however, it transitions from idea to reality, with many more betas to come up till its official launch at the end of the year.
As we’ve revealed in the past, Firefox 4 is a large upgrade from its predecessors. It not only covers a redesign of the customer interface (tabs are now on best except for the Mac version), however a wave of extra features, including improved HTML5 support, hardware–accelerated HD video, WebSockets as well as improved add–on backing via Jetpack.
There’s many more to Firefox 4, majority of which you could see in this feature limelight the Mozilla team put together to accentuate the lots of upgrades the new browser contains. But, we wish to emphasize that this is an initial beta of the browser — it will crash as well as frustrate you, which is exactly what Mozilla is hoping to apprehend now before its final launch.
Mozilla requires Firefox 4 to be a winner; in latest months, Google Chrome has been taking browser marketshare at Firefox’s expense. The new version could either invert the downturn or quicken its fall.
