[Bryan]

Hi,
When I installed deer park alpha1 build Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0;
en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050701 Firefox/1.0+ it started with a page that does
not exist in the mozilla.org servers
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/releases/whatsnew/ whitch needs to be
changed in the browser profile system of this page needs to be implemented (at
least a dummy page) to correct the problem.

Nominating for blocking as this is a highly visable error for Deep Park Alpha 2

You will need a new profile. The problem is only with the initial start page,
the page that appears when you start the browser for the very first time. It
does not exist.

Rafael, let's create a deer park first run page on the server for 1.1a2

actually you only need to go to about:config and rest
browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone to the default value.

How about we make this a redirect to the Deer Part Start Page for Alpha 2?

That's better.  I'll redirect this link to: 
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/deerpark/alpha2.html

Will have the similar content as:
