Test out Firefox 4.0 AKA Minefield BETA !! Just download, untar, double click the .sh, and run in terminal ! ;grin
This will not replace your current Firefox install !! But add Firefox 4.0 BETA as another browser ! It will import your settings and bookmarks! and tell you what "add ons" you have that wont work and why !! I find it runs much smoother Than my old install ! But than again I have a lot of "add ons" installed ! ;)

I have been using it for a couple weeks, it hung and crashed on me the first time I used it, but the updates I have gotten this last week seems to have made it more stable. It doesn't have the bottom status bar, which I miss.
