Mozilla releases Firefox 3.0 alpha

It seems like Mozilla Foundation has released its alpha version of Firefox 3.0 browser to developers already. 3.0 will be a major step in making web applications indistinguishable from those installed on the desktop, developers say.

The final product could be shipped by Fall 2007, only one year after the launch of Firefox 2.0 this year. Can Microsoft ever keep up with this pace, for its IE 8?
