Hey guys, I've seen a few rumors about a pre alpha of Firefox 4, though the latest version of Minefield I could find is 3.7a5pre. Is there a FF4 pre alpha? And where can I get it?

Hello.

Firefox 3.7a5pre is the latest build of Firefox 4. The name hasn't been changed yet in the nightlies, but that is just the name. Firefox 3.7a5pre is, for all means and purposes, Firefox 4a5pre.

Also, some features haven't landed completely or at all, and you may want to check their specific repositories. For example, WebM support hasn't landed in the main trunk yet.
