PS4 Pro Ships with 3.70 Firmware, Needs Update to Access Browser
Thus far the general consensus is that Sony's new PS4 Pro 4K console is shipping with PS4 Firmware version 3.70 which according to Darthsternie's Archive wasn't released as an update, with several reports and a confirmation HERE by @kallek.
Following Sony's Sharefactory Update 2.0 and despite the recent Updating PS4 Firmware Guide, today JarodMadePro made a video demonstrating that in order to use the Web browser the PlayStation 4 Pro Firmware needs to be updated first.
Hit it up below, and from the video's caption: PS4 PRO 3.70 - UPDATE TO ACCESS BROWSER
Just a video to show people on PSXHax that you need to update the PS4Pro to even access the browser.
@Derf321 also notes the following tip, to quote: "using DNS redirection, you could send the PS4 to any URL you want by loading the Users Manual page."
Cheers to @VultraAID in the PSXHAX Shoutbox for passing along the news earlier today!

Updating to a Specific PS4 Firmware Guide by AlexxLopaztico02
Recently AlexxLopaztico02 shared a guide on updating to a specific PlayStation 4 Firmware version that may be useful for some users not looking to jump all the way to Sony's current PS4 System Software 4.05 revision.
Check it out below, to quote: HOW TO: Update to a specific FW on PS4 (Works For Upd 4.0.1)
With the new jailbreak presentation in GeekPwn, the people who are in FW 3.55 would want to update to 4.0.1, without having to update to 4.0.5 and lose to opportunity to jailbreak (ouch)
Lets put clear that this works for ALL the FW, not to the specific 4.0.1, but in this one we gonna update to 4.0.1
Requirements:
0- If you installed a PS4 Update Blocker you'll need to Remove PS4 Update Blocker before you can update your PlayStation 4 Firmware version.
1- First of all, you gotta download the 4.0.1 FW in a PUP file, which you can get clicking this link (mirror here).
Note: if you want another PS4 FW update, check this page (mirror here).
2- Now, format your USB to FAT32 (This will wipe all your data, so make a backup!)
3- Now, make a folder in your flash drive called "PS4" (without the ") Remember it gotta be in UPPER CASE.
4- Inside the PS4 folder, make a folder called "UPDATE" (again without the ") IN UPPER CASE.
5- Copy the file you downloaded at the start of the tut to the UPDATE folder.
6- Rename the file to "PS4UPDATE.PUP"
We're ready in the PC, now lets go to the PS4.
7- First of all, shut down COMPLETELY your PS4.
8- Now, put your finger like...
