Firefox 3.6 Alpha Now Available
PrintWith Firefox 3.5 not long out of the oven, Mozilla has already cooked up the first developer milestone of its next browser release, Firefox 3.6 Alpha 1, now available for download.
"Unlike the year that passed between Firefox 3 and Firefox 3.5, we expect that this 3.6 release will be released in a small number of months," Mozilla evangelist Chris Blizzard said in a blog post.
Code named Namoroka, the Alpha 1 release is built on the pre-release version of the Gecko 1.9.2 platform. According to Mozilla, speed improvements have been made to the TraceMonkey JavaScript engine. Other features include faster page renders, quicker startup and responsiveness, and several new CSS3 properties have been added.

Kinda funny now how everyone loves Chrome. I adopted Chrome when it released and was berated for it whenever I mentioned it here. My oh my how a year or so can really fly by and times change in such a short period of time.

Jeez, Chrome shouldn't warrant all those caps, let alone any other browser.

Well you don't HAVE TO get this one. Actually since this is an Alpha release it is probably not a good idea to download it and use it as your main browser since it will probably have some bugs.

well i know that... i dont even use FF as my 3rd browser so im not going to update
i was actualy wondering why a seperate build? why not just small updates?
i know sometimes its unavoidable but just would make more sense to me
