  Naming conventions below are as follows:

  * FX2- represents a build off the 2.x line of source code. These will be progressing toward Firefox 2.0, and should be getting more and more stable until release.
  * FX3- represents the cutting edge of Firefox development. These will be sketchy and strange at times, and should be expected to contain some bugs and generally be wacky, however they do showcase the newest features of Firefox and give you a glimpse at the direction Firefox is heading.
