Firefox 4 is in the first Beta stage right now, it won't be released for many months. You're better off using 3.6 for now. Get it here.

Firefox 4 beta 1 is like Windows Vista, good interface but a lot of bugs. I switched back to 3.6..

You should always use beta test versions with a new and separate profile and keep the regular release so you can use that version in case of problems. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager

Firefox 4.0b1 is the first of the beta test release versions and still has a lot of bugs. Such releases are meant for testing only so if bugs are found then they can get reported and fixed before the final 4.0 version gets released. If you do not have experience with such test releases then you are better of with the latest Firefox 3.6.6 release.
