    Been running Beta 12 for a couple of days now, really stable & I noticed the less RAM usage too

    Can't wait until the final is here.

    Mozilla has in fact already started work on Firefox 4.0 RC, with very early Builds of the new development milestone live on the company’s FTP servers.

    The manner in which they are labeled could generate some confusion, so Legnitto wanted to be extremely clear that Mozilla will not produce a Firefox 4.0 Beta 13.

    “I just wanted to send a quick note clarifying again that Firefox 4 beta 12 is the last planned beta.

    “It may be confusing that nightly builds after beta 12 identify themselves as version 4.0b13pre. The versioning is merely a product of automation. This DOES NOT mean we are having a beta 13,” Legnitto said.

    With the RC being offered in early March 2011, I think that there’s a very good chance that Mozilla will release Firefox 4.0 Final by the end of next month, or so. It appears that it won’t be long now until users will be running Firefox 4.0.

    Those are good improvements. I was planning on sticking with 3.6 for a while but I might not now.

    You can have both, just can't run both simultaneously - they share profile.

    Not true, if done properly: I have both 3.16.13 and 4.0 Beta 12 running simultaneously.

    Shortcut for Beta 12 reads "Firefox..." -p "Beta 9" -no-remote . Beta 9 is the name of the Firefox profile Ive been using since Beta 9, and the -p' points to that profile. `-no-remote' is used to allow more than one profile to be active at the same time.

    In fact, one should not share profiles between 4.0 and any earlier release, as the programs are quite different, and sharing can, and usually will, cause serious problems.

    The only difficulty with using -no-remote that I'm aware of is that if while using the profile governed by that entry, right-clicking on a link in a web page and choosing "send link" will not work.
