If You Haven’t Heard Yet, Firefox 2.0 Final is Out
ArsTechnica, Lifehacker, 456 Berea St, Neowin.net, BetaNews and many others are reporting that while Firefox 2.0 has a scheduled release for tomorrow, the download is live. Get it for yourself: Win32, Mac, Linux. Update: It may not be final after all.
Update 2: It is really out now. It seems as though they were working out Windows and perhaps Mac bugs because the MD5 sum for the Linux “final” is the same as RC3.

Schaweet!
I’m loving it, except clearly the Gmail crew haven’t heard, as I’m stuck with basic HTML view - anyone know how to spoof it so it’ll give me my AJAX goodness back? Or do I have to wait til Gmail get their act together?
AJAX gmail works fine for me in Firefox 2.0. When in HTML mode though, there should be a link somewhere to revert to the AJAX version.
Sweet! Thanks, Paul.
How strange, I don’t have the link to the full version.
Dave, the link should be under the “You are currently using 1544 MB (56%) of your 2777 MB.” part.
Nope, nada. That is very weird.
Hmm, after using the No Check Browser link in Gmail’s help, it’s gone back to normal. Weird.
Rock on Stamy! Thanks!
Awesome! :)
Downloaded and installed.
People are saying this is still RC3.
Paul, I don’t think this is final yet: Per the Mozillazine blog: http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/preed/2006/10/the_antirelease.html
Anyone who has common sense would contest that the only time you download a major release like that is through automatic update or directly from GetFirefox.com.
I just hope that the css will be more compatible between firefox and IE 7. It’s a pain when you have to develop for both of them.
Thank you very much for the info. It’s always better to be one step ahead :)
Nice, I will update as soon as I join all these fanlistings I have open.
