What's new? The video above provides the highlights, but the talking points are:
* Instant themes: Point 3.6 at the Personas gallery, and you can hover over a theme to see how it would look in your browser. Click to apply it, and it's your browser skin. You can then manage your Personas from the Add-Ons menu.
* Out-of-date plugins notifier: Start your browser up with an outdated, and potentially virus-friendly, Adobe Flash or other plugin, and Firefox will tell you and provide an update link.
* Full-screen "open" video: If you're looking at a video streaming in Ogg or another free format, Firefox can play it full screen.
* WOFF support: More intriguing for developers than users, but, still, Firefox now accepts and downloads smaller-sized Web Open Font Format fonts, allowing sites to more quickly show you their text the way they intended.
* Faster, faster, faster: Mozilla promises better JavaScript, startup time, and rendering speeds.

It's definitely faster.

^ 3.6 is faster than 3.5
The UI in 4 is much better, IMO. When you eliminate the menu bar, it is much easier to exit or get it back. You can also choose to put your tabs above teh address bar a la chrome, or put them below.
Each tab is separate, or so it seems. When I view FF from the task bar, it lists all open tabs.
So far so good. Hopefully the release version will make use of the space next to the condensed menu bar.

How do you verify that something is running in low integrity mode? Better yet, how do you bring up this properties window?
When I right click iexplore.exe, I get a different properties.

I used to use Firefox regularly, not as much anymore...
I've converted to Google Chrome browser...
Much lighter and quicker.
Once and a while I will run across a site with heavy java or shockwave or something and Chrome doesn't format it properly. I will open it is Firefox then...

and it has nothing to do with sucking on MS cock cause
A. I don't use IE
and
B. Google chrome has had the low priority mode from the get go so why doesn't firefox?
This is a really good security feature which effectively limits where malicious software can write to only a couple folders and to only one registry area. So any malware can't infect system files cause the process rights that it inherits from IE or chrome are untrusted applications and aren't allowed to change anything cause they have rights lower than a user. While firefox has medium integrity so any malware that comes through it has much more access to system files than on IE or chrome. Therefore if you get malware it's much more likely to work on firefox than in IE and chrome. With IE and chrome if you get an infection you just run ccleaner and it's gone.
this protected mode feature is Vista/7 only, again yet another reason to ditch XP!!
