   Hi,     
      
      
   Due to the fast release cycles we were missing v7 of Firefox and Thunderbird   
   and v2.4 of Seamonkey. Now, we try to keep up with v8 and v2.5, respectively.   
      
   The cairo graphics engine and the preferences backend were overhauled.  As a   
   consequence we had to change quite a few lines within the new printing code   
   from Rich Walsh. In limited testing those changes seem to not introduce new   
   bugs. However, we need more brave testers before we will decide whether or not   
   v8.0 GA versions can be realized. So please test these beta versions and   
   report here.     
      
   Due to an unexpected restriction I could not upload firefox-8.0b6 to the   
   mozilla ftp server. Therefore, you can get it from netlabs:   
   ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/incoming/mozilla/firefox-8.0b6.en-US.os2.zip   
   Thunderbird and Seamonkey betas can be downloaded from mozilla   
   ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/8.0b5-candid   
   ates/build1/contrib/thunderbird-8.0b5.en-US.os2.zip   
   ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/2.5b3-candidat   
   es/build1/contrib/seamonkey-2.5b3.en-US.os2.zip     
      
   You should be able to use them on existing profiles. However, it is prudent to   
   make a backup of your profile before or create a new one.
