Firefox Beta 4. Would you try it? Have you? |
|
It advertises way fast page downloads, among other benefits. I'm a bit leery of betas. What do you think?

3. I've been using it since it was first released. A few of the earlier updates temporarily |
|
borked one or another of my plug-ins, but as a general rule the beta release has been performing well
Before I installed it, I did rename my installed Firefox 3 so that I could get back to it easily if I needed to

4. There's only one way I'd try a beta from anyone... |
|
...and that's if I had a dedicated PC for beta testing only.
The reason you're granted access to a beta version is so that you can be the guinea pig that finds the place where the program fails, so that the development team can correct it before the final release is pushed to the public.
A failure that is 100% contained in Firefox is one thing. Installing something which might cause other programs to fail is another. I don;t care how much of a long shot that is...I use my PC for business as well as entertainment, and I'm just not willing to roll those dice.
I can wait for Firefox 4. If it's as good as they say it is, it will be worth the wait. Paitence, after all, is considered a virtue.
