Anyone else got it yet? Looks ok to me! It hasn't crashed, yet, and it has a nice spelling tool integrated, as well as anti-phishing but I haven't tried that yet. Anyway, the download is here.

I'd strongly suggest backing up your profile first.

Don't use alpha 1 though, when there's an alpha 3 out...

So the file to use with WinXP is the 34Mb download bonecho-alpha3-source.tar.bz2 from the FTP server 'Index of /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/bonecho/alpha3/source'?

And what steps should I take to back up my firefox profile?

Thanks

That's the source code. You don't want that. Bon Echo Alpha 3 (Win).

The first bit's already been answered, but

Just copy it somewhere safe, or better still, start a new profile (ie move the old profile) and import what you need.
