Firefox 3.0 Alpha

Thought some of you might be interested in Firefox 3.0 Alpha.

Get 2.0 and 3.0 working side-by side:

EDIT

I just installed it and at the moment it's pretty much exactly the same as FF2.0.

Make sure you backup you %appdata%\Mozilla folder just in case something goes wrong - if something does go wrong and you restore that folder (Start>Run>%appdata%) then all will be back to 100% normal

It looks the same, but they're by no means identical.

As Ars points out, the Gran Paradiso alpha is a pretty crummy build - no Reflow checkins and lots of other bits are missing (no shock, it was built before they landed). Places should be putting in an appearance soon too.
Anyone that's interested at all would be much better off trying a nightly build and looking here.

The other link's old too. You can just add --no-remote to the shortcut in 2.0 and Minefield/GP. You'll get some errors clicking links in some apps, but you'll get that screwing around with the environment variable.
