Mozilla hopes to release Firefox 4 in October or November, a new version that has speed among its top goals.

"Performance is a huge, huge, huge thing for us," said Mike Beltzner, vice president of engineering for Firefox, in a Webcast on Tuesday about plans for the browser. "We created the performance story, and we've got to keep at it."

Among other features planned for Firefox 4--and Mozilla emphatically cautions that plans can change--are support for high-speed graphics and text through Direct2D on Windows; a tidier user interface with more prominent and powerful tabs; support for several newer Web technologies; 64-bit versions; and compatibility with multitouch interfaces.

Thanks for the great post its really helpful to me

It’s good that firefox will be getting an update soon as their major competitors are already doing a revamp, appearance wise. They have been pushing for the more simple uncluttered looking interface though that sacrifices the visibility of tools that make for no user friendly software. Though users are now very familiar with technology that they already have their way of figuring complex structures.
