Firefox 2 Beta 2 RC2 (Release Candidate 2) is now available on the Mozilla FTP server in all of the various languages. Here are the English (United States) download links:
- Linux (TAR)
- Mac (DMG)
- Windows – Install (EXE)
- Windows – Compressed (ZIP)
Firefox 2 Beta 2 RC2 has a lot of the new theme already implemented in it. However, there is still a long list of bugs for the theme so there are still some things that might change.
If all goes as planned (which it hasn’t for the 3-weeks) we should see Firefox 2 Beta 2 released on August 30. The final release is still about 2-months away and is scheduled for October 24.
Works great so far. The buttons and icons do indeed ‘highlight’ when you mouse over them now. However, I noticed that extension created buttons don’t. But of course, the theme isn’t quite finished yet.
Everything else seems to be working well
I also just noticed this build is dated 0821. Could be the same build as RC1
Yeah, it should be the same as RC1 but they have added all of the various languages now.
should I just stick with my nighty update notifications?
If you are still on the nightly schedule then you are beyond Beta 2 at this point. They have already opened the branch to accept check-ins as they move toward RC1.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1b2) Gecko/20060826 BonEcho/2.0b2
that’s my version
Yep, you are still on the nightlies since it says “BonEcho”. If you haven’t been having problems with it I would just stay with them.
Thanks for the link. I have been waiting for this!
