Hi Everyone,

Firefox 3.6.4 will be launching soon and we need help from our global
user base to test favorite video, gaming, and other sites before we push
the update to all of our users. It's time to spread the news and get
testing...

Here is a link to the RC blog post about 3.6.4 downloading and testing:

You can also find betas and nightlies here:

/beta --> http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-beta.html
/nightly --> http://nightly.mozilla.org <http://nightly.mozilla.org/>

For those unfamiliar with that terminology, the structure will be:

"Beta" :
the most recent beta quality release (no dataloss, primary functionality
tested, usable as a daily browser) of Firefox. These are released every
2-8 weeks. Currently the beta is of Firefox 3.6.4, but soon it will be
of Firefox 4. Betas are branded and automatically update to the next beta.

"Nightly":
the latest build from the "trunk" of code that's been checked on. They
are unbranded, and must pass all automatic tests, but may contain
dataloss bugs and functional regressions (though this is exceedingly
rare). Things change, they don't look perfect, but represents latest
snapshot of development. As the name implies, they are updated every
night. Nightly builds update to the next nightly.

Thanks! Please spread the word and get everyone testing.

-Seth
