Mozilla Firefox 3.6 Alpha 1 available now

Mozilla recently introduced the first alpha release for the upcoming build of their popular browser, Firefox 3.6. Codenamed "Namoroka" Firefox 3.6 Alpha 1 is intended for developers only, and offers quite a long list of bug fixes as well as some performance tweaks.

Among the changes worth mentioning is an updated version of the TraceMonkey JavaScript engine, introduced in Firefox 3.5. Mozilla has also presented several new CSS3 properties like background size and gradients for background images.

Given its unfinished nature, Mozilla recommends that that only developers and testers install Firefox 3.6 Alpha 1. That said, if you are the daring type versions for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux are readily available. Be sure to tell us what you think in the comments!

Truthfully I've always grabbed the latest version (alpha, beta or otherwise) of Firefox with problems occurring very rarely or none at all.

@Nirkon Yes, me too. but this last time, when i updated, several problems appeared. Like a java script  issue when i click a link that opens a new window (It says "security problem"), and it has crashed several times.

Weird. Still love it though.
