If You Haven’t Heard Yet, Firefox 2.0 Final is Out

October 23, 2006 · 23 comments

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.

6 Paul Stamatiou October 23, 2006 at 6:16 pm: Dave, the link should be under the “You are currently using 1544 MB (56%) of your 2777 MB.” part.
