Deer Park Alpha - Firefox Nightly Build.

Original Post
(Sorry if this is a repost, I didn't find anything on here about it via google) Ok let me explain the situation, I like to keep up do date with my browzer, which is why i frequently download the Firfox Nightly Build (Scroll Down), But this time when I ran the installer I was greeted by a program by the name of Deer Park, which seems to have come right out of the nightly build and replaced firefox completely. It installed from the nitely build into the firefox folder, has the same version info as firefox, and behaves exactly like firefox. Why would they change the name of such a wonderful browzer to Deer Park Alpha 1, which I must say doesn't have the nice catch to it that Firefox does, It runs well, but why the sudden change, and is it an accident that i have gotten this from the nightly build? Also in the GDNet who's online, it says firefox by my name, same with many other checks like this. WTF 0.o Edit: Upon further review, it seems it is the code name for 1.1, but still unexpected. Still doesn't see right as it says 1.0 in the help screen.
There is a actually a extension called Firesomething that will randomly rename firefox. I'm not saying thats what happened to you, I just thought it was cool.

When I read that I looked at the window title bar for Firefox and saw "Deer Park Alpha" and for a moment I panicked, went like "WTF! how can they do that?". Then i realized it was the thread title [smile]

You download the nightlies but you dont read Mozillazine? *shakes head* You missed this.

Deer Park Alpha 1 intentionally uses a codename rather than the Mozilla Firefox branding to dissuade end-users from downloading the preview (an end-user beta will be available closer to the final 1.1 release).
