Mozilla Foundation announces Directed Giving program

The Mozilla Foundation today announces their new directed giving program. When you donate to the Mozilla Foundation, you now have the option of directing your donations to one of four selected projects (Bugzilla, SeaMonkey, Camino, and Mozilla accessibility for people with disabilities). You can also choose to make a traditional unrestricted donation as well. The Mozilla Foundation will take note of your choice, and keep track of how much money has been designated for each project. They will then work with the people responsible for each project and come up with some worthy project-related initiatives to fund using those designated donations.

This directed giving program was created as a way to give people more ways to be involved in and engaged with the Mozilla project, and the Mozilla Foundation also wants to give the various individual projects within the overall Mozilla project the chance to promote themselves and further grow their communities of supporters. If you've donated to the Mozilla Foundation before, we thank you for your past donation and encourage you to consider making a new donation designated for one of these projects. If you haven't donated yet, please consider supporting one of these worthy initiatives.

Firefox Community Beta Program

During the run up to Firefox 2, we released beta builds and release candidates for wide testing and feedback as part of a community beta program. Anyone who downloaded and installed these pre-release versions of Firefox became part of this beta program and was automatically updated to the Firefox 2 final release.

To ensure continued improvement in the quality of Firefox 2, we are now applying the same program to our security and stability release process for Firefox 2. Starting within the next 24 hours, everyone who participated in the beta process will be offered a pre-release version of the next security and stability update.

If you are participating in this program, thanks for your continued help. Please report any problems or issues at our community feedback web site.

The final release of Firefox 2.0.0.3 will take place shortly after we complete wide testing through this program. All press inquiries should be directed to press@mozilla.com.

To exclude yourself from the beta program, simply download and install the latest stable production release of Firefox.

In the near future, we will be accepting additional people into this community beta program. More information on how to join will be posted soon to Mozilla Developer News.

Technical Note:
You can identify if you are part of the beta program by following these instructions:
1. Launch Firefox.
2. In the location bar where you usually enter a web address, type: about:config
3. In the Filter field, enter: app.update.channel then press the enter key.
4. If you see the value app.update.channel set to “beta” you are enrolled in the beta program.
