Firefox 4 - beta 9 installed

I installed the latest Firefox 4 beta 9 browser on Ubuntu and it shows promise. While it appears faster than v3.613, Chromium is still faster. Perhaps Mozilla will continue to tweak and refine its performance in the coming months. But it does offer a lot of customization options. In addition, the tab groups function is a nice feature.

Below are my screenshots: Below are tabs on top with Bookmarks bar, and without the Menu bar.


Below is shown tabs on bottom with the Bookmarks bar, without the Menu bar. This is similar to the current Firefox layout.
