Project code name "Gran Paradiso", is the version 3 of the popular mozilla browser Firefox 3. The new generation of the Firefox browser introduces several new features which can be tested in the first alpha 1. Notice that some of the changes in Gecko 1.9 Alpha 1 will affect the web and platform compatibility of Gran Paradiso Alpha 1:
-Cairo is now being used as the default graphics library, affecting all graphic and text rendering
-Cocoa Widgets are now used in OS X builds
-An updated threading model
-Changes to how DOM events are dispatched
-Changes to how
Gecko 1.9. Gran Paradiso Alpha 1 is being made available for testing purposes only, and is intended for web application developers and our testing community. Current users of Mozilla Firefox should not use Gran Paradiso Alpha 1. -
I begin to saw it at 9 December 2006 where some "undergrounds" website was leaking the download, so it is indeed true that it was going to come up.
-
Huh? 9 December? As early as the beta, Firefox 3 is already in development and codes were available.
There's nothing underground about it, except that Firefox 3 links are damn hard to find. -
Yes, it is 9 december 2006 where some "undergrounds" website is leaking the download.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Huh? 9 December? As early as the beta, Firefox 3 is already in development and codes were available.

The official version was indeed out on public sites when it's not supposed to be.Originally posted by GSL:Yes, it is 9 december 2006 where some "undergrounds" website is leaking the download.
So was alpha, but not as wide spread as the beta. Besides, alpha was still in development, and barely runnable without compiling it. -

Known Issues for Firefox 3 Alpha 1 :
All Systems:
-The Cairo graphics system has drastically changed the way all text and images are rendered from previous versions of Gecko, so occasional misrenderings of non-latin scripts and fonts may occur.
T-he Phishing Protection notification bubble is hidden by the content area ( see bug 341950.)
-Gecko now sends WHATWG DOM events when going online or offline ( see bug 336359.)
-There have been many bugs fixed by changes to the behavior of nsCaret. -

I won't even recommend it. For one, when it was leaked, it was not runnable.Originally posted by bryanseb:ya.. But since some ppl already started using Firefox, i strongly recommend u dun try it..
Second reason is because of copyright. Mozilla Foundation didn't say anything about Firefox 3. -
Add-ons:
Add-ons installed under previous versions of Firefox may be incompatible and/or require updates to work with Gran Paradiso. Please report any issues to the maintainer of the extension. When you install Gran Paradiso, all of your Add-ons will be disabled until Gran Paradiso determines that either a) they are compatible with the Gran Paradiso release or b) there are newer versions available that are compatible. -
Troubleshooting:
-Poorly designed or incompatible Add-ons can cause problems with your browser, including make it crash, slow down page display, etc. If you encounter strange problems relating to parts of the browser no longer working, the browser not starting, windows with strange or distorted appearance, degraded performance, etc, you may be suffering from trouble with your Add-ons. Restart the browser in Safe Mode. On Windows, start using the "Safe Mode" shortcut created in your Start menu or by running firefox.exe -safe-mode. On Linux, start with ./firefox -safe-mode and on Mac OS X, run:
cd /Applications/GranParadiso.app/Contents/MacOS/
./firefox-bin -safe-mode
When running in Safe Mode, you can disable the add-ons that are causing trouble and then restart to try again.
If you uninstall an extension that is installed with your user profile (i.e. you installed it from a web page) and then wish to install it for all user profiles using the -install-global-extension command line flag, you must restart the browser once to cleanse the profile extensions datasource of traces of that extension before installing with the switch. If you do not do this you may end up with a jammed entry in the Extensions list and will be unable to install the extension globally.
If you encounter strange problems relating to bookmarks, downloads, window placement, toolbars, history, or other settings, it is recommended that you try creating a new profile and attempting to reproduce the problem before filing bugs. Create a new profile by running Firefox with the -P command line argument, choose the "Manage Profiles" button and then choose "Create Profile...". Migrate your settings files (Bookmarks, Saved Passwords, etc) over one by one, checking each time to see if the problems resurface. If you do find a particular profile data file is causing a problem, file a bug and attach the file. -
