Pop quiz. How many betas does it take to create one whole number release of Firefox for September November “early 2011″ release? Sorry, it was a trick question — nobody knows! Actually, Mozilla says they’re about done and that’s probably accurate.

Anyway, Firefox 4b12 (release notes) is here and ready for download. Yeah, really, a dozen public prereleases and here’s what this particular brings to market:

>• Increased performance while viewing Flash content
• Improved plugin compatibility with hardware acceleration enabled
• Hovering over links now displays the URL at the bottom of the window rather than in the location bar
• General stability, performance, and compatibility improvements

Ready for improved Flash performance (I’m not holding my breath either)?

Get your copy Firefox 4b12 here (27.3MB).
