Shawn,

I haven't downloaded any of the "unofficial betas," and will wait until
there is a more stable, official  version out, however Loren does make a
point.  Have you seen Dave Hyatt's weblog
(http://www.mozillazine.org/weblogs/hyatt/), which said the following on
February 27th?

Sounds like he wasn't too broken up about the "unauthorized beta" being
released, and in effect was asking for help in fixing a bug.  And this is
the lead developer - and an Apple employee.  So, I would agree with Loren
that Apple isn't to concerned about this being out there.
