Firefox 3.0.1 Beta (Build 1) Released
Posted on July 10th, 2008 | 6 Comments »
Apparently because I was downloading versions of Firefox 3 before it was officially released, I’ve been automatically enrolled in the Beta Testers Program. Because of that, I was notified via a toaster notification tonight that Firefox 3.0.1 beta (build 1) is now available for testing. I’m posting this from the new version, which identifies itself as follows:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1
If you aren’t a part of the Beta Testers Program you can download the new beta build, or if you’re just curious what it’s all about, you can head over to the mozilla.announce.prerelease newsgroup or take a look at the MozillaWiki page. However, I’ve taken a look at both and I’m still not quite sure what the new release is all about.

Thanks for the tip, Exec. Looks like about six critical bugs and one blocker bug were fixed, plus a slew of others.

I noticed that the other day, loligoth. Opera’s always been a proponent of web standards, so it’s nice to see them taking that to a new level by offering to educate as many people as possible about the related benefits.

I find it a bit annoying that the enrollment is automatic. It wouldn’t be a big deal if you could easily opt out, but to do that you have to completely download Firefox again and reinstall it (a public release version), which is just irritating. Why can’t I change an option in about:config and be done with it?

I do wonder if that (in)famous critical security vulnerability discovered during Firefox 3 launch day is fixed in 3.0.1?
which bug would that be? I heard it’s something to do with Javascript?
