It is still in its alpha stage but a lot of improvements and reorganization has been done.

Yes, Right now, Mozilla is calling on developers to help it ensure that the next version of the open source web browser is solid. But they have released an alpha version of Firefox 3 for developers to play with.

Gran Paradiso Alpha 1

The superstructure of Firefox 3 alpha is built around Gecko 1.9, an updated layout engine. The browser, tentatively scheduled for delivery in May 2007, is also due to include features held back from Firefox 2, such as the revamped Places system for storing bookmarks and a re-jigged history function.

Release of the code for Firefox 3 (nicknamed Gran Paradiso after a mountain region of Italy) comes just six weeks after the release of Firefox version 2.0. The software is orientated towards making web applications behave in the same way as programs installed on user's desktops. Core layout and rendering changes include use of Cairo as the default graphics library, use of Cocoa Widgets for MAC OS X version and the inclusion of Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) languages.

There are no significant user interface changes to the browser as yet. These will come later after developers sort out what ought to go under the browser's bonnet, the current focus of their development efforts. The release is designed for testing purposes only, and is intended for web application developers and Mozilla's testing community.

that's right bro you won't see any changes from the later version 2 for the visual changes would be done later. developers are more concerned on what it could do for the users. been playing with it for weeks now and this version really is promising.
