Firefox 3.0 Alpha6 Rc2 And Alpha7 Pre - testing alpha versions of Firefox

Hello Trap17 members, especially Firefox lovers and advocators!
While testing the buoyancy of my personal toy (my boat) I ran into the land called, Canada. There, I had to scavenge for some ration to keep up with my day to day activities. Surprisingly, the land called Canada was hospitable and plentiful in many diverse and exotic things. So I brought back some to share with my Trap17 community. Ha ha...
Now that you've read the excitement in my words, I'd like to present few things. The following programs are not guaranteed by Trap17 or me. They are publicly available downloads but it's hard to find. I am merely making it accessible and make no claims that they are stable, fully supported working versions. The zipped files are for Windows OS platform, Linux and Mac. The original files were not modified or renamed, only the zipped file names were changed. They are presented as they are when I received from the Firefox source.
Firefox 3.0 Alpha 6 RC2 version is available in Windows, Mac and Linux versions [attachment=715:firefox_...nstaller.zip] off site download (18.8 mb)
[attachment=716:firefox_...a6_linux.zip]
Firefox 3.0 Alpha 7 PRE version is available in Windows and Linux versions [attachment=717:firefox_...re_win32.zip] [attachment=718:firefox_...re_linux.zip]
Test it out if you want. Alpha 7 PRE was reported to be in poor success rate as many testers noted that it crashed during the startup (of Firefox, not Windows).
All I need to do now is figure out the new CSS3 selectors and then I can see if it renders them as properly as I would like them to, and give feedback to the developers if it isnt intentional to make the web page render that way. Chances are I won't be using much CSS3 anyways, though, and I don't know if I'll ever find any of the other web standards useful for my simple websites that I make.
Well I am a bit surprised that they release two versions of FireFox 3 like that, although the final release of the browser is supposed to be coming out soon. This time though I be waiting out the Firefox 3 until most of the add-on's, plug-ins are coded for this version. OF course that really surprised me a bit that most of them haven't already been upgraded to the new browser yet, but what can I say, people want a stable version before coding all these tools.
Mozilla Firefox 3 is focused on improved memory handling, performance, and stability, improved XUL, and new core components such as application data stored in SQLite. Mozilla Firefox 3 could break a few existing extensions and applications built on top of Firefox, and it will definitely include new optimizations if you like to build on the popular browser. Mozilla Firefox 3 should have additional JavaScript and SVG features if you're into that sort of thing
No seriously, I've been using Firefox since 0.x releases. I loved it. Every release, despite
having no huge features, was a great update. Version 3, however, totally messes everything up. Its
default interface is ugly. And no Home button, really ??? (ps. I kno i can drag it back from the
bookmarks toolbar but still, its stupid). The address bar search thing. I liked the concept, but I
am so used to the old way, this actually distracts me, I don't want to search my history
everytime I type a new address. Plus the slide out is huge now making the whole thing feel t...
I see as firefox as my main choice but its really up to you on what you choose: Firefox is an
open-source (Wired mag) Internet browser, thought up by a 18 year old (completed when 19) after many
frustrations with Internet explorer. It has a built in pop up blocker that has never once fail me,
and is 100% skinnable. It includes TABS, which is a fature that lets you see more than one page in
one window. Because of its new scent, noone has bagan to look for a way to deliver viruses thrrough
the browser. It has promoted its service by Spreadfirefox.com, which gives of webba...

Firefox 2
- Whos has it and what do you think? (48)
I never really liked Firefox just because i always thought it was just as good as my now 2nd
favorite browser, Opera. It had all the same capabilities and actually Opera was the first to have
tabbed browsing and is the safest of all of them. When I heard about the new Firefox i wanted to try
it out considering i needed it anyways to test out my websites. I got the iFox Smooth skin also to
test out the skins. I have to say i love it. The spell check it awesome. I would have downloaded
Firefox just for the spell check. What are your favorite new features? Have you even dow...

Yesterday was the biggest milestone in Firefox history they just hit 500 Million downloads of their
most famous software the Firefox web browser. All I have is WOW! and such a short time to of
course when you create a program that is more advance, more secured, and just plain out more better
then everyone else's, that number isn't that surprising because of the popularity it has
receive in under 4 years of being out there. Of course with Firefox 3 on it's way out I would
be surprised if it hits 1 billion in less the time though. SOURCE ...
I have had a go at making a website using CSS to dictate the layout (no tables used) and it works
quite nicely in firefox but when i open it in IE it completely mangles the whole layout. Can
someone tell me some techniques to prevent this and maybe point me to some helpful pages. Thanks....
Hey guys, Lemme know what you think abou the Mozilla Firefox browser. I personally think it out
runs Microsoft Internet Explorer mainly cos of the convenience of having all the windows in one main
window, plus enhanced security features. What do you think? Cheers! Yasir /smile.gif'

QUOTE A serious flaw in how Firefox handles log-ons could be used by identity thieves to dupe
users into disclosing passwords, a noted security researcher said Wednesday. Aviv Raff, an Israeli
researcher best known for ferreting out browser flaws, revealed the Firefox spoofing vulnerability
on his personal blog, and posted a demonstration video there. He did not go public with any
proof-of-concept code or working exploit, however. According to Raff, Firefox 2.0.0.11 -- Mozilla
Corp.'s most current version -- fails to sanitize single quotation marks and spaces i...
A new version of the Firefox browser, now available for testing mainly by developers, offers
improvements on finding frequently visited Web sites and tools for running Web applications without
a live Internet connection. The Beta 1 version of Firefox 3 released this week still has problems,
including the inability to run newer Web-mail programs from Yahoo Inc. and Microsoft Corp., and a
final version for consumers isn't expected for several months. But it offers a window on
what's to come. Many of its new features concern bookmarks, an area typically slow to ...
Well as we get closer and closer the release of Firefox 3.0, mozilla comes out with Alpha 8. In
this update it is security rich this time as they bring in anti-malware warnings and protection
against rogue extension updates. They also beefed up the security to the extension auto updates to
help prevent people from redirecting you to malicious sites because of the way the auto update
works. This time they have set it up in a way that it checks the url of the installation manifest
and makes sure its the correct one or it doesn't get updated. QUOTE "Firefox aut...

For all you firefox fans out there, Firefox has officially launched the 2.0 version (yes the evil
two point oh....). On oct 24th, numerous happy firefox users were notified of this update
/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />. Firefox
hasn't updated the browser for quite a while, and after Opera 9 came out, Firefox just lost its
users. And with IE 7 catching up, firefox needed to do better. And it did. First of all, we notably
see that the Firefox website www.getfirefox.com is now looking pretty snazzy. Other than the ra...

Hi,I've made some custom coding on a blog to make it look like i want it but i've noticed
that while in opera and firefox it looks perfectly, in internet explorer it look messed up.The
problem should be minor as long as there is little code just a couple of divs, some background
images and a few line of text-it's the home page which is small. Can you take a look and tell me
what to change there as long as i don't know very well the differences between browsers' way
of tackling css and html just to make it look the same in these browsers. It seems to m...
