Four reasons you'll want Firefox 4
Firefox has begun to feel slow and dated. But Firefox 4 may change all that. Here are four reasons you'll want to switch to Firefox 4.
It's faster
Once upon a time Firefox felt fast. But Chrome, Safari, and Opera all display Web pages far more quickly. In this beta Firefox is still slower than those browsers, but it's closed the gap. In my tests, the beta of Firefox 4 showed to be about 30% faster than Firefox 3.6. Given that it's a beta, you should expect that it will become even speedier at launch. It's still slower than Opera, Chrome, and Safari. But Firefox has a massive library of add-ons, that none of those browsers do.
