<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Thanks for reflecting on past
proposals, thinking the problem through, and coming up with a new
proposal :)<br>
<br>
Looks great to me, +1<br>
<br>
This will be a huge usability boon for web developers who want to
test across versions of firefox, use the newest tools while double
checking that their site behaves properly in release, and just
test things once off in different release channels.<br>
<br>
Thanks again!<br>
