Mozilla releases Firefox 3 Final Alpha
On Tuesday, Mozilla released the final alpha for its new Firefox 3, codenamed Gran Paradiso. Alpha 6 doesn’t add much to Firefox in terms of new features.
According to the Alpha 6 release notes this version includes:
- Updated SQLite engine to version 3.3.17
- support for site-specific preferences–text size
- a new Quit dialog box that resolves termination errors
- added permanent ‘Restart Firefox’ button to Add-Ons Manager
- miscellaneous fixes to download manager including correctly displaying large file sizes
- various Places fixes
- and miscellaneous Gecko 1.9 bug fixes
It is the latter, the miscellaneous bug fixes within Gecko 1.9, that may affect Web and platform performance. Once again, Mozilla recommends this alpha release only for developers. Mozilla urges current users of Firefox 2 to wait until Firefox 3 is finally released in October or November of this year.
