Thank you.. it seems great so far except i have a couple problems:

Does anyone else have issues with blocks / fragments appearing on the screen when videos are on the page and you scroll down? or is it just my video card / drivers?

Also, in yahoo mail when i click load images it does nothing.

i was sleeping until i read this. of course they always say that in the release notes though.

not that ff4 b7 isnt fast. its still a tick slower then chrome though. well see what its like when it comes out of beta- ff still has that excuse.
 
Firefox 4

Beta 8 looks great! Thanks everyone
Plan to do a quick, date-driven beta 9 (for reals this time)
Plan to code freeze this Friday, 2011-01-07
Weekend will hopefully shake any issues out
Branch and build on Monday, 2011-01-10 if no major issues are found
If issues are found, day-for-day slip on the builds
Release to beta audience on Thursday, 2011-01-13
 
i bet that is why they stepped up the beta release, it was supposed to be end of this month now they are saying 13th and beta 10 at end of month
