Firefox 2.0 Alpha 1 is available for download!
While browsing the Tinderbox Builds on the Mozilla FTP server I found that they placed Firefox 2 Alpha 1 on there. A Tinderbox Build means that it may not be what gets released, but often it is. This was just placed on there today which makes sense because the code lockdown was last night.
If you decide that you don’t want to try this Tinderbox Build then you can wait until Tuesday when the official Firefox 2 Alpha 1 will get released. There may or may not be some slight changes from the version that was released today and the version that will be released on Tuesday.

Looks like the full release may be tomorrow.

Have you given it a try, apoptosis? I've run it for a short while. It actually seems pretty stable for me.

It was pretty stable for me also. I had to modify my extensions to get them to work.

I downloaded the Linux version(2).......It's actually just version 1.5
I run it, then goto "help" and "about firefox" and it shows version as "
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060124 Firefox/1.5.0.1" --> Seems they haven't made a Linux port yet!
