Firefox 2.0.0.2 & Thunderbird 1.5.0.10

It looks like the tentative date for these two security updates will be Wednesday February 21st.  Both releases will address various bugs and security issues.  Firefox’s update will include more stability for Windows Vista.  Their smoke-tests passed so that’s good news as well.

Firefox 3 (Gran Paradiso) Alpha 2 Available

Mozilla has released its second Alpha iteration of Firefox 3 or “Gran Paradiso” for testing.  Mozilla plans on having Firefox 3 released by the end of 2007 with a highly advanced graphics rendering engine called Cairo.  The Gecko 1.9 engine is in place and this provides full web standards compatibility by passing the Acid2 test by the Web Standards Project.

So basically if you want to download it and mess around with web standards you can, but you won’t find anything terribly interesting about it.  It’s safe to say that once Mozilla gets their base code updated for Acid2 and integration of all of their new features, they’ll begin testing beta builds.
