Firefox is hoping to add an auto/silent update feature to Firefox 4.0, which will be enabled by default, but can be turned off.

The major update dialog box will only be used for changes like version 4 to 4.5 or 5 according to Alex Faaborg on the “mozilla.dev.apps.firefox” forum.

Users will still see the updating progress bar on load, but this is an implementation issue as opposed to a user interface one.

Firefox 4 Beta 1 includes an updated Windows interface that’s sleeker and easier to use. (Mac & Linux are coming soon!)

  • New Tab Location
  • Switch to Tab
  • Firefox Button

Under the Hood

WebSockets

Developers will be able to build real-time online interactions like gaming and chatting.

Stylin’ Pages with CSS3

With support for new CSS3 features, web designers can make their pages both look prettier and display faster.

HTML5 Support

A new HTML5 parser and full support for web video, audio, drag & drop, and file handling means Firefox 4 is ready to run the best web apps of both today and tomorrow.

Web Console

With this experimental analysis tool for modern sites, Firefox allows you to peek under the hood of dynamic web pages.

JetPack SDK (Making Add-On Development Easier)

Add-Ons can be installed without restarting the browser, and can be developed more easily using the new JetPack SDK and js-ctypes.

Indexed DB

Developers will be able to store application data locally, making cloud applications like Gmail or GDocs work more quickly and reliably, even when not connected to a network.

Crash Protection

Firefox provides uninterrupted browsing for Windows, Linux, and now Mac when there is a crash in the Adobe Flash, Apple Quicktime or Microsoft Silverlight plugins. If one of these commonly-used plugins crashes or freezes, it won’t affect the rest of Firefox. Instead, you can simply reload the page to restart the plugin and try again.

It quite reasonably states that they are “NOT FINAL! THEY ARE ONLY FOR BRAINSTORMING/EXPLORATION”.

The example tab layout below gives some idea of the thought process, and you might think the ‘Tabs on Top’ option looks very much like Google Chrome.

Tabs on Bottom
