Mozilla has officially released Firefox 4 to the masses, the long-awaited update to the browser that re-ignited the browser wars. It's no conincidence that Mozilla chose now to unveil Firefox 4: competition is heating up from the likes of Google's Chrome and Microsoft's Internet Explorer 9, both of which have seen major updates in recent weeks.
Still, for their rapid growth, Firefox has already come in at well over 1.7 million downloads (as of this writing) and is still racking them up. Firefox 4 Beta users won't notice many changes in the app, but people upgrading from Firefox 3.6.x will notice a drastically changed and minimized UI that puts the tabs at the top of the window and moves the URL bar into each individual tab. They'll also notice the navigation bar reduced to back/forward buttons, which have been placed next to the URL bar.
Firefox 4 also introduces Firefox Sync, which allows you to save your open tabs, bookmarks, passwords, search history, and more to the cloud where they're accessible from multiple systems. Firefox 4 also sports some performance improvements, like a new Javascript engine and hardware acceleration, designed to improve the overall browsing experience. The new version even allows you to finally install extensions and add-ons without having to restart the browser.
Firefox 4 is probably the last big milestone release the Mozilla will do: the company has committed itself instead to smaller updates and releases over shorter periods that are less disruptive to users, much like Google's approach to Chrome. You can download Firefox 4 now, and check out Mozilla's tour of its new features at the same time.
