Firefox 4 nearly ready, but IE9 may be faster

Mozilla Foundation announced the release of Firefox 4 RC1, earlier this week. This is a statement full advantage, and can be turned to release to the final with no further changes, especially if Mozilla is keen to steal some thunder from the imminent arrival of the Internet Explorer 9, which Microsoft has confirmed only will be available starting on Monday.

Firefox 4 will, like its competitors, are much lighter in weight than the current version (3.6), which ensures better performance. Such as chromium and IE9, has been redesigned user interface to maximize screen real estate to view web pages. Will be available for Windows, Mac and Linux.
