Howdy,  

Firefox-4.0 final is available at:
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/4.0/contrib/firefox-4.0.en-US.os2.zip

The latest (and presumably last) Beta of SeaMonkey:
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/2.1b3-rhttp://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/2.1b3-real/contrib/seamonkey-2.1b3.en-US.os2.zip

Be sure to download and carefully _read_ the new Readmeshttp://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/4.0/contr:  

http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/4.0/contrib/firefox-4.0.en-US.os2.README

http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/2.1b3-real/contrib/seamonkey-2.1b3.en-US.os2.README



Two points from the Readme are very important to mention
1)
======================================================================
=========
-- Compatibility Warning
------------------------------------------------------
======================================================================
=========  

After using Firefox v4.x (SeaMonkey-2.1b3), your History and Cookies
databases (places.sqlite
and cookies.sqlite) will NOT be compatible with Firefox v3.x
(SeaMonkey-2.0.x).  However, a
REXX script is available to restore compatibility.  

* To preserve compatibility:
  - download 'dbrestore.zip' from
      ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/incoming/mozilla/dbrestore.zip
    or
      http://e-vertise.com/warpzilla/dbrestore.zip
  - unzip it into your profile directory
  - make backups of places.sqlite and cookies.sqlite  

* To restore compatibilty BEFORE running Firefox v3.x:
  - run the script from your profile directory.  

* To restore compatibilty AFTER running Firefox v3.x
  (i.e. you forgot to run the script before):
  - look for 'places.sqlite.corrupt' and 'cookies.sqlite.corrupt' in
your
    profile directory,   If they appear to be the right size, remove
the
    '.corrupt' extension after deleting the newly-created versions.
  - run the script
  - if your history and cookies aren't restored, use your backup
copies.  

2)
* Exceptq - Crash Reporting
    If the app crashes, Exceptq will beep and then create an exception
    report containing details of the crash.  You can send these
reports to the developers at crash_at_e-vertise.com>.  

The Exceptq app and dlls can be downloaded here:
        http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/h-search.php?&key=exceptq71


Please, to be on the safe side, backup your profiles _before_ using
the new versions.  

Get them as long as they're still fresh ;-)
