The link itself indicates that is a "nightly". I have accumulated the following from various newsgroup posts and Mozilla Web pages. Note that what was called "Alpha" (a term used several times below) is now called "Aurora". Also note that "nightlies" are at a development stage even earlier -- likely more buggy -- than Auroras. --------------------- Nightly Builds Created most weekdays from the previous day's work, these builds may or may not work. Use them to verify that a bug you're tracking has been fixed. We make nightly builds for testing only. We write code and post the results right away so people like you can join our testing process and report bugs. You will find bugs, and lots of them. Mozilla might crash on startup. It might delete all your files and cause your computer to burst into flames. Don't bother downloading nightly builds if you're unwilling to put up with problems. ------------------------------ Keep in mind that nightly builds, which are used by Mozilla.org developers for testing, may be buggy. ------------------------------ General Release Information Each Mozilla release is broken up into three parts, an alpha cycles, a beta cycle, and a final cycle. Alpha development focuses on feature work. Beta development focuses on cleanup and general bug fixing. The final cycle is limited to very low-risk changes and fixes for more severe bugs and regressions missed during alpha and beta. ------------------------------ I just checked in a patch to change the uuid. unfortunately alpha3 was released with the old UUID, but ah well, it's only an alpha. ------------------------------ Alphas are intended for internal dissemination and won't reach beta stage until they are ready for general public testing. The fact that the public can obtain (and use) the alphas doesn't really change this. -- David E. Ross While many tributes to the late Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonin Scalia now fill the news media, his legacy was not necessarily positive.
