Mozilla Ships Alpha Release of Firefox 3.0

Mozilla today hit an early milestone on the road to the next version of its open-source browser, but the final product is still a year away, developers say. The Mozilla team released its first alpha release of Firefox 3.0 today, giving Firefox and Web application developers an early look at the next-generation browser. This release is not intended for regular users, not even those who like to play around with early versions of a product, Mozilla said.

This is an early, early developers build of the browser. This is proven by the fact that 2.0 still has a large slew of bugs still unfixed. Of course, if you want to feel like a champ, you can download it anyway.
