First look: Firefox 3 alpha 5
For all you ALPHA techies, Firefox 3 alpha 5 has been officially released. Ars Technica notes that this alpha version migrates bookmark storage from the current XML data format to the SQLite-based MozStorage system. Bookmarks can now be found in the places.sqlite file in Firefox profile directories. Firefox 3 alpha 5 also features a new password manager. An assortment of new minor features are also included in Firefox 3 alpha 5.
There is not yet an officially anticipated release date for Firefox 3. The first beta release will occur in late July following the final feature and user interface freeze, and a second beta is planned for September. After the second beta release, additional betas and release candidates will be released as needed until the final Firefox 3 release.
