Mozilla Firefox 4 beta 2 is out

The new update to Firefox 4 beta is available here (9.06MB).

Once again the installation procedure is terribly fast. At the end, you get Beta 2 beside Beta 1 and stable version (actually 3.6.8). I'm testing it on the same computer as Beta 1: loading time is shorter than Beta 1 and almost one third of 3.6.8, while memory consumption is some 40,000K more than 3.6.8 (according to MS Windows Task Manager, same sessions).

Extensions are still a sensitive issue since some are disabled because not compatible, however I'm sure updates will come shortly.

MS Silverlight doesn't need to be re-installed as it was for Beta 1.

A new feature introduced is App Tabs, a different way to manage tabs by saving space on the bar: right-click on tab and choose Make into App Tab

and tab is shrunk on the left side


New features are described here.
