Firefox has been my favorite Internet browser for a long time, until Google created its rival “Chrome”, ever since, most of my browsing went through Google Chrome.

But deep inside of me I still want to use Firefox -as a big fan-  but the crashing problems and being slow to load on my PC makes me use Chrome instead.

On the last couple of days I read that Mozilla has created the first Beta of Firefox 4.0, so I decided to do some Beta testing, and here are the Pros and Cons so far.

Before I start, here is a link to download the Beta version from.

.

Pros

• It has a completely new and awesome design.
• Loading a website is much faster.
• Good to have the ability to show/hide the menu bar.
• Never crashed while testing.
• Flash is working perfectly.
• The loading is faster than the other versions of FF.

.

Cons

• There is no (Minimize, Maximize or Close) buttons on the top right corner when the menu bar is hidden.

• The loading is slower than some other browsers (Google Chrome for example).
• The operating system will treat any new tab as a stand alone window.

• Moving the tabs around is still not smooth enough.
• Some website (like Youtube) is not opening properly.
• The tabs are not closing sometimes.
• On full screen mode, you have to hover the mouse many times on the top of the browser to see the other tabs.
• Sometimes it takes forever to load a website.

These are some of the Pros and Cons I found on the new version, and I’ll update this post as soon as I find some more.
