Firefox Deer Park Alpha Available

Posted by Zonk on from the break-out-the-salt-licks dept.

The Mozilla folks have made available the newest release of the Firefox web browser. This release is for testers and developers only, and should not be used if you have no interest in trying out the latest build. The release notes cover the recent changes. From the what's new document: "Fast back (and forward) - This very experimental feature allows much faster session history navigation. The feature is off by default but can be enabled for testing purposes by setting the browser.sessionhistory.max_viewers preference to a nonzero number."

    It's coming, but not until Firefox 1.5 (http://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox:1.1_Mac_Migrators ).

    "The Safari migrator will not be importing passwords for 1.1. For 1.5 we will utilize the Keychain for password storage and provide a simple migration solution."

    Well there's only one official build for each platform. All they have to do is query the server with a checksum of the binary currently in use, and if it doesn't match the official build, they can send the whole thing down the line or redirect or something.
