Firefox 3 beta 3 next week


Mozilla has announced that it expects to publicly release Firefox 3 beta 3 soon

The process of building and testing builds which will become Firefox 3 Beta 3 began on Monday at 7:20pm PST when development handed over control to the build team for branching and tagging. Things are moving along well...

However, because response to the Firefox 3 beta has been so overwhelming, Mozilla is seeking to limit public access to beta 3.

In related news, Mozilla has released Firefox 2.0.0.12, SeaMonkey 1.1.8 and Camino 1.5.5 updates:

Firefox 2.0.0.12 (download, 17MB) addresses a number of security and stability issues discovered in Firefox 2.0.0.11.

SeaMonkey 1.1.8 (download, 23MB) addresses security and stability issues, plus a list of bug fixes.

Camino 1.5.5 (download, 15.3MB) includes Version 1.8.1.12 of the Mozilla Gecko rendering engine (which includes several critical security and stability fixes), Flashblock 1.5.5, improved ad blocking, fixes for a couple of crashes, and other changes.
