I just wanted to clarify a couple of things about my last post about Firefox 2.0 Alpha 1:
- The Mozilla hasn’t yet announced this yet, and there is probably a good reason too.
- This is ALPHA software! Do not install it on your main computer unless you know what the implications are with installing ALPHA software.
