*'''Begin Tracking Firefox 8''': This release will be on the Nightly channel. We'll follow the [[Features/Release_Tracking|Release Tracking]] page to identify which changes and additions will need documentation.

The details of this should be discussed in the Article's forum thread also linked from this page. The tracking of Firefox 8 features is an ongoing process that will continue through it's Beta phase but after it moves to Aurora the main changes should only be the possible removal of a feature.
