Firefox Community Beta Program

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://feedback.mozilla.org or through the mozilla.feedback.firefox.prerelease newsgroup.

The final release of Firefox 2.0.0.4 will take place shortly after we complete wide testing through this program. All press inquiries should be directed to press@mozilla.com.

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