I am surprised that no one made a thread about this yet.

Anyway FireFox 4 Beta 1 went live yesterday.

Download : Firefox 4 Beta

Using it since then. Havent experienced major bugs yet. Smooth and fast.
The memory footprint is big at the moment.
 
There will be a different exe to open the 4 beta 1

Some experiences

1) Fast

2) Each tab is a separate process which is good and bad cause in windows 7, you see a cluster full of firefoxes when you have many tabs and its a pain to have multiple firefoxes with tons of tabs open

3) Removed the minimize and maximize and close button. Pretty useless now I must say

4) Added some kind of statistics which help track the kind of usage and all

Frankly, if my chrome wasnt crashing when visiting some sites, I would still use it over firefox anyday

^^ that is simply not true. At least not for windows version. I dont know who posted that on some popular news blogs and forums.

There are no multiple process here. Yes, you get multiple tab peak in windows 7.

Minimize, maximize and close buttons are there.

Here is the screenshot.
