4.0.1pre has lots of good new stuff in it, including a G5-optimized JavaScript nanojit, AltiVec acceleration for WebM (VP8) decoding, AltiVec accelerated pixel compositing, tuned media buffering, a mitigation for Flash applet graphical abnormalities and of course all the fixes so far to be released in Firefox 4.0.1 "Macaw."
This is a lot of new stuff for us, so I need testers. G3 testers especially needed since my PDQ is on my workbench -- I need to make sure the modified scroll for Flash doesn't slow down G3s too badly, and that WebM video doesn't crash (if it does, this implies AltiVec code leaked in) even if it plays abysmally badly. Similarly, G4 and G5 testers needed to make sure the new features work well on their systems.

We'll be releasing 4.0.1 final on 4/26, same as Mozilla, Fnord willing.
