Note that this is a very early version for testing purposes. The final product will be much better.

I dont like being a tester for program, but is there any big changes or add ons?

I've gotta say, I'm playing around with it now, and I'm not really liking it. I'm really not thrilled on each tab having its own close button on the tab itself. I've got a happy trigger finger, and I've already accidently closed down a tab without trying to. Aside from that, I'm not really sure what any of the major upgrades to the browser are, so I don't know what to be looking for.

Sound like its more like the Safari browser, but i like the little close buttons so this might be good for me

Well I have found my first bug in the browser. It turns out that Firefox build 1.5.0.1 and the Deer Park 2 builds are using the same runtime class. When both browsers are installed, Deer Park is loading from the c runtime library, but when all browser windows are closed and you open a Firefox 1.5.0.1 browser your prompted with an error message about the program trying to load the c runtime library incorrectly.
