RC1 for Firefox 2.0 Release Candidate 1 Hits the Tubes

Sep 20, 2006 in , ,

Mozilla has been coding away to hit their scheduled Firefox 2.0 launch date sometime in the near future (November?). As such, you can now get your hands on the first release candidate for Firefox 2.0 RC 1: Mac, Linux, Windows. The new version sports a slightly tweaked theme from the last beta.

  1. The Tubes seem to chugging along fine today. No sign of dump trucks though…

  2. 2.0 is due to go Gold by late October

  3. I thought RC1 release date for set for next week, at least that was the tentative date as of yesterday!

    I’m:
    - upset that I didn’t know of this earlier :p
    - happy that I found out about it anyways hah

    Thanks Paul

  4. Well this is actually the RC1 of RC1..

  5. Oh!

    Nevertheless, Apple+Tilda still isn’t working :(

  6. I don’t know if this is just in my head, but on Windows the application seems to start up A LOT faster.

  7. I tried the nightly build form the 18th and I think the theme has been improved a hell of a lot. That said, I still don’t like it as much as Winstripe, and and still think the 1.5 theme, ported to 2.0, would better serve everyone.

    Still, once this semester ends at uni I plan on putting a sock in it and trying to make my own theme. Firefox has a distinct lack of attractive ones, especially compared to other programs like Trillian and Winamp, which have lots of fantastic skins.

  8. Thanks for the links Paul. I have two comments.

    1) Yes it does seem to start up faster for me. Considerably faster actually.
    2) I like the updates to the theme. Looks good, and I like to progress.

  9. Interface certainly has some improvements. Now, if they’d just get rid of those gosh aweful form elements.

  10. Sweet..I enjoyed the beta…Can’t wait to take the RC1 for a spin!
    Thanks, Paul

  11. I love Firefox 2, I am still encumbered by a terrible Windows computer, I love it’s ability to restore a broken session.

  12. Looks great, and keeps getting better.
