Firefox 4.0 is now ready for download, have you upgraded yet?

Primarily the first reason to upgrade is for security, as always the new version has at least in theory the least number of security holes for bad-guys to exploit. The other impressive upgrades in version 4 are:

  • Improved user interface, featuring the “Awesome Bar” and repositioning where tabs are to the top of the window
  • Sync to keep your mobile browser and desktop browser on the same page with regards to passwords, bookmarks, and history
  • Improved Preformance with the JägerMonkey JavaScript engine, plugin crash prevention, WebGL 3d rendering, and hardware accelleration
  • Better security and privacy, including the do not track flag
  • and much more!
