Mozilla has launched Firefox 12 Beta version of their popular browser. This version has some improvements, which are aimed primarily at developers. I didn’t find lot of improvements / fixes for normal users. So, I do not see a need for a normal user to download Firefox 12 beta version. Instead, you might want to wait for the stable release of Firefox 12 to come, and then let Firefox upgrade itself automatically.
If you are a developer, though, you would find some of the improvements useful (especially the one related to showing line numbers in Page Source). So, a developer might want to download Firefox 12 beta to experience sooner the benefits of this version.
