Minor Rendering Differences In FireFox Beta 5

I haven’t been paying the new beta’s of Firefox 4 too much attention (except to note that beta 5 has hardware acceleration turned on by default) as I’ve become a solid Chrome user, but I have noticed some minor differences in how it renders pages when compared to the current stable release of Firefox 3.6.9.

Browsers, OS, Mobile, Resolution – The Top 10 Of Everything

Tabbing Productivity
