Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: Firefox 3.7a4pre available

I've posted a recent build of the next version of Firefox to my website.  You can download it from:
    http://e-vertise.com/warpzilla/firefox-37a4pre.zip

 This version contains several OS/2 enhancements and fixes:
 Enhancements:
- scrolling should require 25-50% less CPU usage than previously;
  there are other less noticable improvements in display speed
 - previously, switching to a new tab before the page loaded
  (i.e. getting a blank screen before anything was displayed)
  consumed an extra 1-3mb of memory for the life of that tab;
  this memory usage has been eliminated
 - there's a new OGG decoder as well as changes in the OS/2 audio
  component that make it far less likely that normal system
  activity will interrupt the audio stream
 Fixes:
- users of Matrox video drivers should see a normal, non-slanted
  display;  however, video performance will be considerably
  slower/more CPU-intensive than would be the case with SNAP
 - users of FlashBlock will no longer see a floating rectangle
  that fails to move or update when scrolling
 Please let me know if you see any bugs or have other problems.
