Firefox 3.0 RC1
The next major version of Firefox has hit release candidate status. That essentially means that the developers think it’s finished - a release candidate will be identical to the final release version UNLESS major bugs (that they missed in alpha and beta testing) appear when people test it.
If you’re already using the beta, you can get RC1 from the updater (Help –> Check for Updates) - the main difference you’ll notice is a slight change to the theme/colour scheme (more Vista-like on my Vista machine, and the URLs in the address bar history are now a nice blue colour). If you haven’t tried Firefox 3, and don’t want to wait for the final release which might be a few weeks away (you’re missing out on all the New Hawtness, and all you lose is access to online banking which uses browser-sniffer scripts. Hey that’s what IE7 or useragent spoofing is for :P) then you can get it in all the supported languages from Mozilla’s download page.
