Firefox 4 still has a little ways to go (of course). I've been running the beta since it came out.
I accidentally discovered a neat DoS in Firefox 4 while working on some JS: the alert loop from hell is persistent even after you close the tab. IIRC, in 3 it was possible to close the tab in between alert()s and they would go away; in 4, you'll have to kill and restart Firefox to get rid of them. Chrome still has an advantage there.
