I'm running Beta 8 and I've only run into one noticeable bug so far, it's certainly nicer than 3.6.13, especially for Linux where 3.6.x is just horribly sluggish. The Linux builds are just like bad console ports.
ever since I've used FF 4 beta, there is weird keyboard cursor error when I use it...
on every web pages, there is a type cursor when I click on the text of that web page...
then there is scrolling error using keyboard where up and down arrow key scrolls web page as if it's a Word document...it scrolls by text line or the pictures....
page up and down also works as if it's a Word document...it takes to bottom of web page or that particular frame...
I hope this is a bug that will be fixed on final FF 4....
I'm using beta 8 and it doesn't play nice with windows 7 64 bit aero. Usually when you move the mouse over the FF icon on your task bar you can see smaller version of any java or flash content that might be on the page (IM chat windows, youtube videos, etc). with beta 8 ( i suspect earlier betas too) you only get these black windows for java content and white windows for flash content.
I got the latest drivers for my hd 5770 and windows 7 is up to date, i even posted a question about it in the forums and no reply in 3 days. Might have to say with the 3.x versions of this is not fixed
Chrome is noticeably faster both on Windows and Linux (and Mac too, although I never tried that myself and have to cite benchmarks on that one) and has all the essential extensions that FF has. What's more, it gets more regular security updates and bug fixes, it crashes less often and cold boots are a lot faster (on my PC at least).

You mean the Panorama shortcut? They changed to to Ctrl+E.
