Yes! Dear Ubuntu users, Softpedia is proud to inform you that Canonical uploaded the final bits of the Mozilla Firefox 10.0 web browser on the official software repositories for the Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) operating system. Wait, that's not all! Firefox 10.0 is also available, right now, for the Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal), Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat), and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) operating systems. Mozilla Firefox 10 was officially unveiled by Mozilla on January 31st, bringing very nice features, such as a hidden forward button (at least until you navigate back), implementation of Anti-Aliasing for WebGL, support for CSS3 3D-Transforms, Full Screen APIs, a new CSS Style Inspector and IndexedDB APIs. Keep in mind that after the upgrade, you'll have to restart any running instances of Firefox. Happy surfing dudes!

For 10.04 LTS, I think the upgrades to Firefox 9 and then Firefox 10 in quick succession were a bad idea. I don't believe that Firefox 10 is really ready for prime time.

On my system Firefox 3.6 ran fine with a dozen tabs open, but the system starts thrashing as soon as I open more than 4 tabs. I realize that 2 gigabytes of RAM is small by today's standards, but somehow Google Chrome manages to run just fine on this hardware.

The only reason that I was still running Firefox was the Zotero plugin. Firefox 10 requires the latest version of Zotero, which also works with Chrome, so I've got no more reason to stay with Firefox. So I'm switching to Chrome.
