The release notes for Firefox 4 Beta 10, as with Beta 9, are pretty sparse. Some changes have been made to make the browser more stable and Mac OS X users should have better Flash support.
As Mozilla nears the finish line with this release, it is asking users to provide as much feedback as possible. Mozilla says that it has received over one million pieces of feedback over the course of the Firefox 4 Beta, but having more data always helps.
Users can offer up their reports on what's working and what isn't by clicking the feedback button on the top right of the browser or going to this site.
In our brief tests, the Flash performance in Firefox 4 Beta 10 appears to have improved in Mac OS X. Video plays better and consumes fewer resources. Likewise, most of our add-ons and plugins were compatible with this release.
As we've noted in the past, Firefox 4 is an important release for Mozilla. Beyond Microsoft, Firefox faces increasing competition from Google and its Chrome browser.
Still, we think Firefox has come a long way in the last few beta releases. The browser feels faster and more responsive, and some of the interface tweaks and add-on changes bode well for the future.
You can download Firefox 4 Beta 10 and try it out for yourself. Remember to give Mozilla feedback if you run into any problems.
