Right now, it's still a Beta. The official release date is tomorrow (Tuesday 24th April)

This week I donated money to the Mozilla Foundation and bought the Firefox t-shirt.

I look forward to Firefox 12, as it will include line numbering in the source code viewer, something they should have done a long time ago, IE and Chrome already have it. I think that they should have made it a decade ago.

+1 for line numbering.

Also, it's supposed to be easier to update on Vista and Windows 7, because the UAC prompt has been eliminated.
