« Release Schedule

Hi! You may have gotten here from a web page that tried to link to a release candidate of a Firefox beta. While we're happy that you're interested in our product, it's not quite ready for public release yet, as it hasn't been properly tested or vetted. When it's ready, you'll be able to download the beta at www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-beta.html
