Mozilla had just released the new Firefox 4.0, with many more benefits than its previous version.
Firefox 4.0 now fully support HTML 5, amazing speed, better design, more stability.
And they have new feature called panorama and hardware acceleration.
Firefox is getting better and better everyday and i like it so much.
How about you?

Personally I'm not happy with it. I have not noticed speed. I have noticed having to tweek the new version to get higher speeds if you are on something other than Windows 7. I have also not noticed stability. I have had it crash more than any other Firefox in the past. The design doesn't seem better me. It appears to be some "version" of Chrome rather than the sleek and customizable Firefox of previous releases. Also for anyone who works from home or does online based work (companies using cloud computing especially) there are several glitches that make it almost impossible to use the latest 4.0 version.
In essence if I were just surfing the net and using it for a browser and nothing more then I think it would be fine. However, using it because I am a small business owner, work from home, and have several clients online I find that it is unstable, has low speed, and its performance across the board is disappointing. I, like many others, have decided to go back to an older version until Firefox figures out that this new version needs some work.

Maybe in different system will showing different performance. Its a fact that firefox need more hardware resources especially with their new features, i think that's why some people feels its slower.
About the design, yes you're right it brings the design from chrome, actually it following the trends by placing tabs above the address bar like chrome,opera and IE.
I just noticed that some of my add ons didn't work and some toolbar not compatible with this version. Umm, i think i should go back to 3.6 version....

what, slower?. I think its faster now and even its the fastest browser i ever used.
Perhaps you need to tweak your firefox a little so it will browse faster, with standard setting i know it will be slower just tune it to the fastest.
