Mozilla has quietly posted the fourth Beta build of its Firefox 4 browser early this morning, so grab it if you need it. It looks like hardware acceleration is now enabled by now by default, at least on Windows. A new setting has been added to the browsers options to disable hardware acceleration. you find it in Tools > Options > Advanced > Use Hardware Acceleration When Available. Firefox 4 Beta 5 also includes a new “Firefox Button menu” that replaces the Menu Bar on previous builds. You can download Firefox 4.0 Beta 5 here.
