Firefox 4 Alpha 1 Released For Download

[apoorva84]

With Firefox 4 Alpha 1 the browser war seems all set to heat up once again.

Internet Explorer 8 looks promising this time, but Firefox is surely taking the lead, with Firefox 4 supporting Javascript 2 already into the pipeline, the future seems to be with Firefox.

Yes, you are right. I have the pre Beta 5 version in my PC. Only some minor changes were made there.

^Dude, Thats the same interface as FF3Beta3.
And the GranParadiso you used was Alpha build of FF3.

 

[nish_higher]

^ like i said i've not used FF3Beta3
did that have option to save entire session?

 

[ray|raven]

Save the entire session?As in saving sessions in Opera?
If yeah, then No.

atleast first let them release FF3.

In Open Source world usually project teams work on more than 1 release at a time. Quite a few projects have 3 working releases out of which, one is current - no new features added, only bug fixes and security patches, testing release - where new features are added and last is cutting edge - this one works on the newest softwares and technology around but chances are most of the early releases will be totally unusable by anyone other than the developers.
