If you haven’t noticed yet Mozilla has released a beta version of there newest version of Firefox to the public. Now you can go and download the new Firefox 4 demo at this link http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/beta/. For now not everything with the program has been finalized, Mozilla just wants the public to test it out and then send them feedback on things the public likes and dislikes. Then they will know what and what not to change or to add before releasing the full version.

After downloading and installing the Firefox 4 Beta you will see a major change which is the design. Now the top and bottom bars are much lighter and no longer the medium grey that the previous version used to have. Also the refresh, home, and are now buttons which glow when cursor is on top along with the back and forward page buttons. Now the URL bar and search bar are now rounded and no longer have square edges. Something new with Firefox 4 is being bale to pace the tabs above or below the URL bar, to do this right click on the grey boarder around the URL and select tabs on top for the tabs to be on top and deselect it for the tabs to be below. Another thing I found which is not that big that is new is when you open up the add-ons options it no longer opens in a pop-up window. Now it will open up in the browser in a new tab. Also some of your add-ons such as extensions and themes may not work or work properly with the new version of Firefox. You may have to wait until there are updates for your add-ons so they will work properly.

The main thing that Mozilla was looking for was feedback from the public. You may be wondering were to send feedback, well in the top right corner beside the search bar Mozilla has added a feedback button which when click brings down a drop down menu. There you can select the green smiley face which says Firefox made me happy because beside it to send positive feed back or select the red sad face which says Firefox made me sad because beside t to send negative feedback. You can also get to the feedback menu by click tools and going to feedback.

So overall I really like the new Firefox 4 Beta and recommend Firefox user who haven’t downloaded it to do so and for people who haven’t used Firefox before to try it out. Right now I think Firefox is the best browser out there due to being safe, fast, and very customizable also do to all the cool add-ons you can get.
