First Firefox 4 candidate build appears in Mozilla nightlies
OK, so at this point the change is little more than bumping a number, but the arrival of a Firefox 4 candidate in the Mozilla FTP is still nice to see.Recently we've seen several changes land in Firefox 4, most noticeably in the default Windows theme which now has tabs-on-top by default. Don't worry, though -- Firefox 4 will be as customizable as it ever was, and you'll be able to switch back to the old-style tabs on the bottom view if you wish.
Perhaps the most impressive development I've seen so far, however, is the browser's hardware acceleration chops. As Sebastian showed you in his four-browser HTML5 showdown video, Firefox keeps pace with Internet Explorer 9 -- something Opera and Chrome couldn't manage.
With Firefox 4 due before the end of this year, let's hope Mozilla has a few more tricks up their sleeve... Whaddya say, Aza? Maybe that Tab Candy thing is coming?

Here is another interesting system. www.keyF11.com Free, online application (bookmark manager, multibrowser, sticky notes) Upon signing up, you will receive your very own KeyF11 URL, and by sending the link to others you will effectively be sharing not only your favorite sites in one fell swoop - you will share your insight as far as they are concerned by way of the notes that you have created and attached. You can share your own address keyF11.com/your_name but you are not sharing your private panels - these are password protected and hidden from other people’s sight. You will find your favourite tabs/pages everywhere on your own address without login (Login is only for browsing private panels and editing).
