Mozilla is on the final stretch before they release Firefox 2! That’s right, Firefox 2 RC3 has just been released but all of the bug fixes are under-the-hood so you may not notice too much of a difference.
The downloads have been placed on the FTP but I have put together the easy-to-use downloader for your convenience:
The official download page has not been updated with the links at this point but it should be available today around 5:00PM PDT. The release notes page will probably be updated around that time as well.
It is always fun to see a piece of software get released that you have been testing for awhile. This release candidate is about a day earlier than what was planned which means it might actually be on-time for an October 24 release date!
While you’re sitting around waiting for the final release maybe you should check to see if there is going to be a Firefox Launch Party in your area? And hey, if there isn’t then why don’t you start one? There are currently 267 parties scheduled around the world! I wonder where the IE 7 launch parties are?

what about Portable Firefox 2 RC3, a link yet?
I had kinda guessed they might release it today. So are you taking bets yet if the final release is still on for the 24th?
Go ahead and download the [prdownloads.sourceforge.net] That way it has been tested and will work good.
It is pretty tempting because they are supposed to be locking the code down for the final release tomorrow!
whats the About suppose to say when u have the rc3?
mine (portable) says:
Gecko/20061016 BonEcho/2.0
I haven’t installed RC3 because I have been on the nightlies but you are already past it. If you were running RC3 it would say “Firefox/2.0″ instead of “BonEcho/2.0″ so if you installed RC3 it would actually be a step backwards for you.
