+ following:
  
      * Much lighter memory footprint compared to previous Firefox versions -- ties in with next point...
      * Updated JavaScript engine: Tracemonkey. Highly optimized for speed, and garbage collection.
      * Fixes many stability issues with Flash, and many annoyances with flash video playback are gone.
      * Resistant to random website crashes, including script-heavy ones that have been prone to crashing under 3.0.x
      * Highlighting and Dragging text/images/etc actually works -- in previous version, selecting large elements such a images or large blocks
        of text was unusable, and frankly, it looked ugly due to the lack of anti-aliasing ... all fixed and working smoothly.
      * Ctrl+Tab cycles between browser tabs (With Preview, like a window manager.)

+     * Bulk tagging, 
+     * Javascript enhancements, 
+     * Cross-site XHR

  	Alpha release criteria
  	    * Alphas must be generally usable for testing websites and features
  	    * No significant features broken
  	    * Major/high value sites should function and display in a reasonable fashion 
  	Beta release criteria
  	    * Betas must be stable and usable enough for daily browsing for a large number of people
  	    * Features are fully implemented, if not finalized
