Firefox 4 Beta 2 Now Available for Download
Firefox 4 has been updated to second beta, which is now available in 23 languages. The update brings tabs on top of the browser for Mac and Windows users. Firefox 4 beta 1 was released a few weeks ago with new features including revamped UI and extended support for HTML5, WebM and HD video standards.
According to mozilla, the tabs have been moved to the top to make it easier to focus on the Web content and easier to control the tools in Web browser.
Release Notes:
- Firefox 4 Beta 2 is available in 24 languages.
