In fact, Mozilla does not recommend that current Firefox users switch to Gran Paradiso Alpha 1. Mozzila added that the release features the same graphical user interface as Firefox 2.0, and underlined the fact that Firefox 3.0 Gran Paradiso bring to the table core layout and rendering enhancements. Mozilla will introduce modifications on a gradual basis with additional testing versions of Gran Paridiso.

Firefox 3.0 Gran Paradiso is following the release of Firefox 2.0 at a distance of six months. Mozilla failed to present an official release date for the consumer version of Firefox 3.0, but the final variant of the open source browser is expected to be made available by the end of 2007.
