Firefox 4 is a great success considering the difficulties, delays and stumbles between the 3.5 and the 4 release.

I used Minefield (and now Nightly) all through the FF4 development and really considered at one point the project has become victim of scope creep. Was worried about my favorite browser getting pushed into secondary choice for many by Chrome, but the entire Firefox team pulled back and did deliver an awesome release.

Seriously, I'm impressed by the recovery. I tried FF4 about halfway through their test releases, and I found it unusably bad (and I use a lot of beta and alpha software).

Now it's my favorite again. Great job, FF team!
