As I've been using Firefox for years to test newly developed web pages for compatibility and as a complementary browser, I also installed the latest alpha version and it's functioning and performing well so far. Developers who install this test version, should use the "clean install" approach, where Firefox is completely removed including the settings found in user profiles managed in the Documents and Settings area.
