Firefox 2.0 Alpha version (aka Bon Echo) made public for testing

  A new "alpha" version of Firefox 2.0 was made public for testing today.  This is also known as "Bon Echo".   As I enjoy working with any type of computer technology, I had to try this new version.  So far it's been working very smoothly for me, as I had a simplified Firefox 1.5.0.1 environment with no themes or extensions (in fact I use my own menu based web pages in lieu of bookmarks).  

Anyone wishing to test this should have a good working knowledge of Firefox and how to resolve any issues, as there is no support for the new alpha version.  This 1st release is intended for IT professionals, web developers, and experienced individuals.
