+The final alpha of Firefox 3 was released to developers today. After this Mozilla's roadmap calls for the release of beta 1 on July 31st which will be the first feature complete version of the next generation Firefox browser.
+
+Alpha 6 doesn't add too much in the way of new features, for instance the much anticipated Places feature has not been updated from the [last release][2], though Places should be fully incorporated into the beta coming later this month.
+
+A quick overview from the [release notes][1] reveals the following additions to Alpha 6:
+
+>*	Updated SQLite engine to version 3.3.17
+*	Support for site-specific preferences - text size
+*	A new Quit dialog box that resolves termination errors
+*	Added permanent 'Restart Firefox' button to Add-Ons Manager
+*	Miscellaneous fixes to download manager including correctly displaying large file sizes
+*	Various Places fixes
+*	Miscellaneous Gecko 1.9 bug fixes
+
+I just took the new version for a quick test drive and found that, as with previous alphas, it's faster than Firefox 2 but it still has a ways to go before it's stable and ready for the public.
+
+We'll do a more detailed review of Firefox 3 when the first beta arrives. I'm particularly interested to see the revamped download manager and the rest of the Places improvements.
