Primetime Ready? Firefox 2 RC 2 Available
October 9th, 2006
The Mozilla Foundation has announced the availability of Firefox 2 (RC 2). I have talked about Microsummaries before but didn’t really have time to do a full review of the new browser or take a deeper look at the other new features. Ars Technica has a very good review of Firefox 2.0 RC2. It includes screenshot comparisons that illustrate the interface changes, changes in implementation of tabs and the new tab management features. It’s seems very stable at this point but be aware almost none of the popular extensions work right now. Code freeze for Firefox 2 RC3 is set for tomorrow. The final release of Firefox 2.0 is expected by the end of October (Tentatively October 24th).
Note: Mozilla has designated bug#353206 as its tracking bug for the extension compatibility issue.
