Hey all. I'm still pretty new to Linux so I'm trying to be careful. I think I'd like to update my FF to 4.0. Are there any issues I should be aware of? What are the best ways to make the update?

Don`t need to worry about issues , just keep your current firefox installed and simply trial firefox 4 without installing it by downloading the firefox 4 current (stable) tar.bz2(compressed file) from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/new/.
Locate downloaded file,right click, select Extract Here,open the extracted folder which will simply be named firefox, read the README.txt and then locate the firefox shell script simply labelled firefox, left double click,select run and there you have it!
You can make a short cut link by right click file, select links,select copy to desktop, etc.
This way your system is not changed and you can install later if desired.
