Mozilla has released the 4th public beta version of Firefox 3. Here are a few of the updates packed into Firefox 3 beta 4:


Full page zoom - Up until now, Firefox would let you make text larger or smaller, but there was no way to increase or decrease the size of all the content on a web site (something you've been able to do with Opera for years). Now you can choose whether the zoom feature works for text or full pages.
New download manager - The new download manager shows active time remaining, and the status of downloads. You can also search your downloads and see the site where your downloaded files are from.
Improved OS integration - Firefox 3 beta 4 includes specific icons and themes for Windows Vista, OS X, and Linux (using the native GTK theme).
Improved memory usageFirefox 3 beta 4 also includes a ton of other tweaks and bug fixes described in the release notes (http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/3.0b4/releasenotes/).

Looking good, does anyone know how to make this a standalone install? Last time it overwrote my firefox 2 install, and when I went back to firefox 2 it would never keep itself as default browser??

Improved memory usage. I wonder if that means they fixed the memory leaks.

Doubtful they fixed it (gotta find that one firefox extensions thread) but I hope its alot better than it was. This memory leak is horrendous.
