That was Firefox 3.0 included as RC in Fedora 9, from an user 
perspective my memories about it are sweet... it was worse with 
Thunderbird 3, which was included in a release (F11) in Beta stage, and 
not even a late beta, it was something like Beta2, but AFAIK Firefox is 
expected to be RC around F14.

And while Thunderbird 3 was included due to the slow development pace of 
the upstream (we used to have a very old Tb 2), Firefox 4 comes with at 
least a killer feature, WebM (IIRC, another killer feature is the new js 
engine)
