Nog geen twee maanden na de release van de eerste alphaversie hebben de mensen achter de open source Mozilla-browser alpha 2 van de 1.8-tak uitgebracht. Dit softwarepakket bestaat naast een browser ook een mail- en IRC-client. Mozilla Foundation ontwikkelt eveneens een stand-alone internetbrowser en mailprogramma in de vorm van respectievelijk FireFox en Thunderbird. Het changelog van de 1.8 alpha 2-release ziet er als volgt uit:
Browser- Mozilla 1.8 Alpha2 users can now unblock a blocked popup from the Show item on the Tools -> Popup Manager menu or the context menu item on the pop-up indicator icon in the statusbar.
