Ensuring Firefox 4.0 is crashproof

I love the new look.

How stable are the 3.7 builds, and do they have the new look yet?
 
They make it sound like a revolutionary feature, but these tricks have been employed by thousands of applications way before this. I don't understand why it's only being implemented now.

You can always set extensions.checkCompatibility.3.7a to false in about:config. Most add-ons work with this setting in place.
 
One thing that I really hope they address in FF is when you start typing an URL in the address bar, that the browser doesn't crawl to a halt while it loads up your history in the drop-down box. I really need the history dropdown, but not the slowness of getting there.

I hate that. It is a few seconds before it is usable. The same behaviour happens on my netbook, virtual machines and desktop machine :(
 
Where can view details, pics, interface of upcoming versions?

Thanks in advance. ;)
 
The idea behind OOPP is that, on Windows and Linux at least, plugins such as Flash and Silverlight will run as a separate process from the core browser.

Maybe microsoft should start doing that with its whole operating system...
