The beta version of *Firefox* for Mac was already here just days after after
the final release of version 6. Mozilla continues to follow the same strategy
as Google does with *Chrome*, creating different development channels to
release early versions of their browser as soon as they're available and
keep the final one updated as often as possible. As with most Firefox betas,
the most notable improvement is a slight improvement in *speed* but the
memory leak problem persists, even if Mozilla claim it has been improved in
version 7. Other improvements include *improvements to Firefox Sync*,
*increased performance for HTML5 Canvas animation* and *better CSS3 support*.
Mozilla have used something called Memshrink to reduce Firefox's notoriously
leaky memory problem and claim this could reduce memory usage by up to 50%.
However, in tests, we found very little difference between RAM usage in
Firefox 6 or 7. The interface is pretty much the same as Firefox 6, with a
minimalist toolbar, and they've kept the "Feedback" button in the top right
corner where you can easily submit thoughts on what you like and don't like
about Firefox 7. The major downside for most users is that very few plug-ins
or add-ons work with Firefox 7 so if you have a lot installed, prepare to be
disappointed. *Firefox 7 Beta isn't a revolution in the development of
Firefox but there are some improvements although not regarding the memory
problem unfortunately.*>Download *Firefox 7.0 Beta 4* in Softonic
