[Erica Jostedt]

updated copy for FAQs below.

A question to add:
How does Firefox 4 Beta improve performance?
Firefox 4 Beta includes the enhanced high-performance SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine with TraceMonkey and JägerMonkey JITs. You’ll notice the speed in everything from faster start-up time and improved page-load speed to performance of Web apps. Firefox 4 Beta also has full hardware acceleration, which enables websites to load and respond faster to rich and interactive content like Web games, apps or photos. Hardware acceleration is on by default on all supported hardware (http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/4.0b7/releasenotes). 

A question to remove: (because I have heard beta testers will keep the addon)
Will the Feedback Add-on be in Firefox 4?

UPDATE:
On what platforms is the Firefox 4 Beta available? 
The Firefox 4 Beta is currently available on Mac, Windows and Linux. Firefox 4 Beta for mobile is currently available on Maemo and Android. 

Is Firefox 4 available in my language? 
Firefox 4 Beta is currently available in more than 35 languages and we will add more soon.

Should I expect Firefox 4 to look just like Firefox 4 Beta?
Firefox 4 Beta is now feature complete but there will still be some changes as we work to tweak and polish the final product. Your feedback is important to help us get Firefox 4 ready for the final release. Please see the Feedback page for more information on how to participate in the Firefox 4 Beta test.

What can we expect in the next beta? Or future betas?
Firefox 4 Beta is now feature complete. We are still looking at ways to improve performance and user experience as we prepare Firefox 4 for final release.

The relnotes say Beta 7 is available in 57 languages:
http://www-trunk.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/4.0b7/releasenotes/

So "more than 50 languages" would be appropriate as I suggested.

Comment 11

[Laura Mesa [:lmesa] [:lvmesa]]

Kohei--I just asked Pascal to check and we have 39. I'll ask Christian to change the rel-notes.

Comment 12

[Laura Mesa [:lmesa] [:lvmesa]]

Oops--sorry--its 67. I'll get it changed on Rel notes. Alex, can we change this in time? If not, not a huge deal. We'll update for next time.

Comment 13

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc (PTO until April 26)]

Don't ask me questions when I am sleep deprived, I mix up numbers ;)

Here are the real numbers (including en-US):
Beta 6: 39
Beta 7: 57 

+18 locales in this beta
