Download Firefox 3 Alpha 2 (Gran Paradiso)

Mozilla has announced that Gran Paradiso Alpha 2 (or Firefox 3 alpha 2) is now available for download and testing by the Firefox developers and testers. This is an early developer milestone for the next major version of Firefox 3.

A look at the release notes reveals that

* Core layout code affecting the calculation of widths in tables, floats, and absolutely positioned elements has been rewritten.
* Resolved remaining issues with ACID2 test compliance.
* Support for the Web Apps 1.0 API for changing stylesheets.
* The inline-block and inline-table values of CSS 2.1’s display property are now implemented.
* XML documents can now be rendered as they’re downloaded instead of only after the full document has been loaded.
* Greatly improved Mac widgets support since Alpha 1.
* Improvements in the Cairo graphics layer.

The new version also discontinues support for Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows ME and OS X 10.2 (OS X 10.3.9 or better is required). Also the non-standard JavaScript Script object is no longer supported. Download Firefox 3 Alpha 2 and test it out

Big Mistake !!!
“The new version also discontinues support for Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows ME and OS X 10.2″

This is the same mentality that sunk IBM in the personal computer market and it will sink Firefox also. It shows that your development is cheap and that you think you can push people around and force them to accept it. This attitude causes people to sit on the edge of their seat waiting on linux and obviously you don’t have the forethought to consider this OS in your plans either.
