Firefox Community Beta Program

[Basil Hashem]

During the run up to Firefox 2, we released beta builds and release  
candidates for wide testing and feedback as part of a community beta  
program.  Anyone who downloaded and installed these pre-release  
versions of Firefox became part of this beta program and was  
automatically updated to the Firefox 2 final release.

To ensure continued improvement in the quality of Firefox 2, we are  
now applying the same program to our security and stability release  
process for Firefox 2.  Starting within the next 24 hours, everyone  
who participated in the beta process will be offered a pre-release  
version of the next security and stability update.

If you are participating in this program, thanks for your continued  
help. Please report any problems or issues at our community feedback  
web site at http://hendrix.mozilla.org.

The final release of Firefox 2.0.0.3 will take place shortly after we  
complete wide testing through this program.  All press inquiries  
should be directed to press at mozilla.com.

To exclude yourself from the beta program, simply download and  
install the latest stable production release of Firefox from http:// 
www.getfirefox.com/

In the near future, we will be accepting additional people into this  
community beta program. More information on how to join will be  
posted soon to http://developer.mozilla.org/devnews/.

Technical Note:
You can identify if you are part of the beta program by following  
these instructions:
1. Launch Firefox.
2. In the location bar where you usually enter a web address, type:  
about:config
3. In the Filter field, enter: app.release.channel then press the  
enter key.
4. If you see the value app.release.channel set to "beta" you are  
enrolled in the beta program.
