In case you haven't noticed, Firefox 4 has arrived. I haven't downloaded it yet as I have a number of add-ons that haven't been updated by their developers. I think I'm going to give it a few more weeks, but in the meantime, here's what's new...
And The Blog Herald had this great infographic showing the stats from the first 48 hours of Firefox 4.
Have you downloaded 4 yet?

I downloaded it a few days ago.
I like the new layout with the tabs on top.
Only bug I've experienced is that the back button sometimes doesn't work. Like, you click a link and then want to go back, and the button is not active and doesn't work.
Hopefully that will be fixed.
Although its a great program, have had a few bug problems as well.
I seem to always bump into bugs with Firefox updates so I have begun to wait weeks if not longer before updating. Also, like you I have some add-ins that I will wait for.
oh my god I had a nightmare experience with Firefox 4. I currently run Mac OS 10.4.11 and FF 3.6.16 (inb4 upgrade, loser).
At my last software update, Firefox suggested I upgrade to version 4. Usually if it's not compatible with my OS, I'll get a warning telling me. This time, no warning - I figure everything's go.
So I download FF4, which replaced the older version, effectively deleting it. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, "Sorry, Forefox 4 is not compatible with your operating system."
wtf?
At that point I was in a panic thinking bookmarks, etc., were gone (fortunately I located the bookmark cache and backed that up). So I tried to reload the older version of Firefox but kept getting directed to FF4. After a good half hour, I managed to finally find and download the older version I was running. *whew*
tl;dr? make sure everything's compatible before you download FF4.
