Mozilla Releases Firefox 2.0 RC1
At least one more release candidate will be posted before the final is put on the street.

Mozilla Corp. will unveil a release candidate of Firefox 2.0 later Tuesday, the next step toward finalizing the browser's first major upgrade in a year.
According to notes posted in the developers' section of the Mozilla Web site, Firefox 2.0 RC1 is on track to debut Tuesday, Sept. 26. "This is just to let everyone know that the QA testing for RC1 is complete," read the note.
Firefox 2.0 has already gone through a pair of beta versions; the last, Beta 2, was released at the end of August. Mozilla has not set a release date for the final.
At least one more release candidate will be posted before the final is put on the street, Mike Schroepfer, Mozilla's director of engineering, wrote elsewhere on the company's site. "We have a handful of bugs that look reasonable to cause a FF2 RC2," said Schroepfer, who also urged staff and volunteer developers to keep moving.
"We are in the end game here - which means days matter and our tolerance for risk is *zero*. We will not take bugs unless they are of great benefit: crashes, web compatibility, and major regressions. IMHO [In My Humble Opinion] FF2 RC1 is already a tremendously superior product to FF15. So let's wrap this up!"
Firefox 2.0 features several additions and improvements to 1.5, which was released in November 2005, including anti-phishing alerts, session restore, spell checking, and suggested searches. The open-source browser, which will roll out as RC1 in versions for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux in nearly 50 localized editions, will compete later this year with Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7, which is also currently in Release Candidate form.
Firefox 2.0 RC1 can be downloaded from the Mozilla.org Web site starting at 3 p.m. PDT on Tuesday.blehComment

Been using the last version of 2.0, and while I loved the fact it would retrieve what you were looking at last time it crashed, it crashed a hell of a lot when I upgraded to a dual core cpu. Like every hour or two. I actually switched back to IE for the first time in a couple of years, but I'll try this one now. Fingers crossed.Comment

This is release candidate 1, not release 1.
It means barring any major bugs found within the next month, this will be 2.0."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

That already existed. It's called the Session Manager extension.Comment

Why would you run that yet? It's really buggy and over a year from release.Originally posted by Verto
