Grab it here. This will hopefully clear up a few of the crashes I've had with beta 3. :)

I had no problem with beta3. I hope that this will continue with beta4. For me, it showed lack of compatibility with all my extentions, but I had them working thanks to Nightly Tester Tools, except for Roboform, which is always a problem. It would not even uninstall!

Word of caution. This beta, again, steals default. Beta 3 did not. And, there is no question asked.
And, the default setting are in a different location: Tools|Options|Advanced|General|System Defaults.

Look at this iem at ZDNet.
It appears to load quite rapidly, but most impressive is the memory usage. 52MB with three tabs, while FF2.0.0.12 draws 54MB with a single tab. No big deal with a modern computer, but reassuring.
