This is only a Release Candidate.

But if you're using Mac OS 10.5 Leopard, be sure to download this. It includes the drop-down fix, which also fixes some other oddities, as well.

No, it's a final version, just look at the link.

The date is when the Gecko has been compiled, which does not mean they haven't fixed bugs since that date.

Are you sure? The site says RC all over it. Last time the gun was jumped the developers scolded the community for claiming final code was out when in fact it was not.

The way you talk looks like you think what's on the Release Notes page is what matters, no, in fact as everyone (...) knows the versions always come first and then they update the page.

The developers don't want much attention (there's no news here for anyone...), can you tell me why? I think it's easy to understand.

And yes, i'm sure this is Final.

Tip: Google is your friend

The reason I posted the "About" dialog box is to show that indeed it is a final version. The FTP directory also prooves this further.
#4 Tantawi on 26 Nov 2007 - 20:59
Thanks for the update.
#5 Amano on 26 Nov 2007 - 21:03

The password manager hole is still unpatched in this release. It was originally reported in November 2006 and it made headlines in July 2007. It's still there. Test Firefox 2.0.0.10 yourself.

#7.1 ambiance on 27 Nov 2007 - 02:44
Sweet.
#7.2 Croquant on 27 Nov 2007 - 03:45
Firefox assumes that any password you set as being valid for a given domain on a given remote machine is valid for any page of the same domain that same machine serves, not just the one you initially logged in on. It does that because if it didn't, you'd have to log in again every time you surfed to a different page within that same website. Which would just be ridiculous.
So while this technically may be a "flaw" it's not something that can be easily gotten around.

"Check for updates" says I have the most current version (.9) and the home page still has it on there too.

Release notes page sez:
Release Date: November 19, 2007

Version: Firefox 2.0.0.10 RC1
#9 xan K on 26 Nov 2007 - 23:23
still not available for automatic update...
#10 pippi123 on 26 Nov 2007 - 23:37
This version has a digital signature of 2007-11-26. It's final.
#11 spr33 on 26 Nov 2007 - 23:57
Changelog?
#12 phantasmorph on 26 Nov 2007 - 23:58
All pages are updated now, 2.0.0.10 as earlier listed is final.
#13 OblivionStalker on 26 Nov 2007 - 23:58
"still not available for automatic update..."


Wait a day or two. It is always like that. They release it to their ftp servers so that the people who want to check if the installer works and such things, can download it. After a day (usually) they release it through Auto-update or on their official site.
#14 +Lewism on 27 Nov 2007 - 03:41
It's "officially" release now

Why don't they call it Firefox 2.0.1?

Because of the versioning system they use:
M.m.R.B
M - major version
m - minor version
R - revision
B - build

It is only a new build, a minor bugfix release, not something of noteworthy improvement, which is why the revision number wasn't changed.
#16 RangerLG on 27 Nov 2007 - 04:30
Just checked for updates and it listed this version as available. Downloaded and installed. Thanks.
#17 Gamerhomie on 27 Nov 2007 - 05:15
I just got here because it automatically prompted me for download.
#18 ThaCrip on 27 Nov 2007 - 06:20
this is final people check the link it's under the "realeases" section

just manually download it i rarely use the in browser update function as i prefer having a copy of the browser for future installation etc.

So everybody agrees that Firefox is the best browser ever made?
#19.1 ranasrule on 27 Nov 2007 - 07:58

No, they built it then Flock made it better, it's streets ahead of firefox IMO.

Flock + Adblock Plus is the best browsing experience and visually far more appealing.

No, I prefer Opera. Firefox is a good browser, but I don't really care whose the "best" anyway.

+1......Opera is better than Firefox for what concerns "Memory Usage"....but Firefox is an excellent browser for sure......
#21 BassKillah on 27 Nov 2007 - 14:30
I Love Firefox!

While the memory issue continues to plague Fx users, I must say that Firefox is a very nice browser. I do agree with those that prefer Opera who say that Opera is better on memory usage. I wonder what Fx 3 final will bring though... Fx 3 Beta 1 was already pretty awesome from what I've read. I hope some more memory leaks are fixed between Beta 1 and the final.
#22.1 +xiphi on 27 Nov 2007 - 23:56
Fx?
#23 DJ-Light on 28 Nov 2007 - 02:27
The correct way to name it. Its not FF, is Fx.
#24 +warwagon on 28 Nov 2007 - 03:31
I think it would be more usefull to point the change log instead of the features.
#25 ViperAFK on 28 Nov 2007 - 04:11
autoupdated today, it's final
#26 IntelliMoo on 28 Nov 2007 - 19:02
Seems .10 breaks tab related extensions in certain ways. TabMixPlus and ChromaTabs affected here.
