Firefox beta 4 is out. I just installed it tonight and used it on my mac for a little while.. it’s been really snappy and usable so far. I’ve started running it on linux at home, and it works well, though the gnome-like theme looks worse than firefox 2 did, imo, but I can change that later (I use KDE). I really like the new look on OSX.

There are some bugs with the gmail keyboard shortcuts still, it seems, but other than that, everything has been working really well.

Release notes here.

I like this description of writing from writer/novelist Richard Price:
“I sat there for 30 years rearranging 26 letters of the alphabet”
(from Fresh Air on NPR. Price wrote some episodes of The Wire)
