Mozilla Deer Park Alpha 1 Release Candidates, (aka Firefox 1.1+)

T4i

Anyone got a working link?

Seems like all the links have gone dead to me overnight......Unless they took it back down after problems?

Noteable changes:
"Sanitize" privacy feature lets you clear your tracks quickly. For example, you can configure Sanitize to clear your History, Download History, and Cache whenever you exit Firefox. You can select what kinds of data are cleared when you use the Sanitize command, and you can choose whether it runs automatically when you exit Firefox or only when you press Ctrl+Shift+Del.
Make back and forward blazingly fast. (This requires enabling a hidden pref* because it's still very buggy. Chase's blog entry with instructions for enabling this feature)
