While the last betas followed up each other almost weekly, this latest beta took a bit longer. Surely everyone is waiting for the first release candidates to appear or a final release before the end of the year. But alas...

Don't be too hard on the folks at Mozilla, as competition has grown much more volatile with the recent release of Chrome 4.0 Beta by Google, which includes extension support and is available on all major platforms.

Compared with previous betas, even this release comes with a bucket full of new fixes. With a hundred changes in store, the road to a most stable release should be smooth and near by now. A lot of crashes (including Flash Player 10) have been fixed as well as tweaking the newish security model for extensions.

If you're already using the beta release you'll get an update notification automatically (or by going to Help > Check for Updates). Of course you can download the full installer as well.
