The Mozilla Corporation have today uploaded the follow-up to their hugely popular web browser, Firefox. Despite not being featured on the Firefox homepage the files have all been uploaded to the Mozilla FTP site.

The Windows installer weighs in at 5568KB, and was uploaded at 0819GMT today. As well as this both Mac and Linux versions have been added.

This updated version is designated for release tomorrow, but avid Firefox users can get their hands on it now.

Download

Firefox Home

Some said that it's exactly the same as RC3 build smile.gif


Edit: Download link updated to use load balancing mirror.

They will soon be available.

For the time being you can use Nightly Tester tools to "force-compatible" it

That means RC3 is the last release candidate as they could not find any bugs in it prior to the release of the final version.

RC3 is the 3rd release candidate. You just need to download the latest Firefox. RC3 precedes the latest version (although they are both technically the same).

At least it responses faster.

Don't know what happen to my old firefox 1.5, it keeps hanging and lagging over the past week.

Anyway, after installed the 2.0 it doesn't hang much . It still lags when I open or click some website, just lesser

Add the SHIFT key to the mix (ALT+SHIFT+S) and that would work. Alternatively, you can change some settings in the config to revert to the previous behaviour: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=446830

2.0 has been better for me, really stable, except for the quick find feature, why did they dump the next button. doh.gif And yeah Noia theme has been updated for this. It's the only theme i've been using all this while. icon_idea.gif

Here's my extensions. Almost all compatible but some i have to find the update manually.

Joseph Hahn - just wondering where did you get your 0.3.49 Tab Mix Plus

It's because I had some problem with 0.3.0.5, even though I forced-compatible it with Nightly Tester Tools.

u can enable the "save to" by checking the "always ask me where to save my files" in options->main.

about ur dl window not showing up, could it be that the download is already complete and it's already on ur desktop?

for the uninformed, the "memory leak" is in fact a feature, not a bug. if u do not want it to consume so much memory, u can disable this feature.

Try setting the browser.cache.disk.capacity value to 15000 or lower.

when i download something

example , abc.avi

after i click in desktop . u can c de abc.avi file and a abc.avi.part

through checking the abc.avi.part file size,

u will know how much u download

if abc.avi.part is 5mb , while complete version for abc.avi file size is 10mb

then that mean u already download 50%
