Mozilla on Friday rolled out what appears to be the last beta release of its Firefox 4 open source Web browser software.

Available for Linux, Mac and Windows, Firefox 4 beta 12 offers numerous improvements to the browser's general stability, performance and compatibility, Mozilla says. Performance is now better while viewing Flash content, for example, as is plugin compatibility when hardware acceleration is enabled.

Several hundred bugs have also been fixed in this latest release, for a total of more than 7000 fixed since the software's first beta version. On the usability end, hovering over a link now displays the URL at the bottom of the window rather than in the location bar.
