Thats what I said… Dogfood is the reference for the Alpha 1 not Firefox 3.0 itself, as Dogfood will not be in any builds.

Your right, the Firefox 3.0 codename is Gran Paradiso as mentioned on [wiki.mozilla.org] and will be what the Branch behind Firefox 3.0 will be labelled as once it branches off from the MineField Trunk.

I have seen the ‘Dogfood’ code name before and I think it relates to the Alpha 1, not to Firefox 3 which is Gran Paradiso.

A code name I saw for the Firefox 3.0 Alpha 1 developer preview test release is “Dogfood”

Heheheh.

I do find it odd that it’s come so soon after FF2 – and if they hadn’t wanted to compete with IE they could have had FF2 to be Acid compliant, making it a bigger milestone.

I know, I’m the same way. It’s not like things will look completely different but I guess it is just the fact that it will be one of the few browsers that actually pass the test. A couple more years and IE might get there.
