Firefox 4 beta review

Firefox 4's new beta (no.6) has been released and the firefox team has got enough time to correct all it's glitches.  Here is what i think about the new release:

The design seems to be inspired from Opera browser though the speed fails to inspire them.

For me the most important thing is the absence of support to save webpages as .mht format. Those of you who do not know the .mht format, it is a format of webpage where your entire webpage is saved as a single file and you donot need any other folder to contain the files.Isnt it intimidating?

A noticable feature is that of option to 'switch to tab using smart location bar'.
It is not a big deal or something  that forces you to download and install the new beta. It only notifies lets to switch to an already open tab having the same address that you want to visit.

A feature that is intelligent is the merger of the reload and stop buttons.
Now this is somehing smart as you are never going to reload a page before it's loading is  stopped. You have to give this to the mozilla team.

Apart from the above features, there is a support for WebM, new html5 tags, css3 though not completely flawless.

Firefox stresses on the hsts protocol support, this is what i got when i tried loading google using it! 

All in all, the design looks good but the responsiveness and speed of  firefox 3.6.8 is still better than 4
and lets hope to get a .mht file saving support in the later releases.
