Firefox 4 Released!
A great number of readers have written in to tell us that Mozilla has officially announced the final, official, Firefox 4.0. Congrats to all the developers who have code in the build. If you want some neat eye candy, you can watch a sweet visualization showing where the downloaders are.
The visualization at http://glow.mozilla.org/ is really nice, and I like the fact that there are over 120 downloads every second!
By the way, my firefox updated automatically, does anybody know if it counted as a download?
In soviet russia the government regulates the companies.
I have numerous dev/test sites with similar addresses that change name/config almost weekly. With Firefox/awesomebar, I can just type the differentiator directly into the browser instead of making a bookmark (which in a week or two will be out of date anyway).
As a web engineer, Firefox has no peer yet. Chrome/Safari are nice, and do offer features and speed that FF doesn't (at least on OSX), but Firefox (thanks to awesomebar) keeps me productive in a very dynamic work environment.

Actually, I'm running it right now (in order to access an internal site).
VMware + Windows 7 + IE9 uses less memory than a native FF4 which has been running for a few hours. That's rather sad.
