Mozilla Foundation have announced that the final version of Mozilla Firefox will be launched at November 9th this year. That means five days from now on, but it seems that Firefox developers have not reached a standard level for final release, since they have just released their second Release Candidate (RC2) version today as soon as they found a glitch on the first Release Candidate. The Firefox developers please ask that you look at the following areas:
* site authentication (especially over SSL)
* extension installation via update.mozilla.org and other sites
* MacOS X builds
* software update
They also suggest to continue doing a carefully testing on
# the find toolbar
# gecko and website rendering
# migration from other browsers on first run
# opening links in Firefox from external applications
# focus interaction between tabs
Along with English builds, a number of localizations are also available for testing. More information on what looks to be the final RC before 1.0 can be found on Ben's weblog.
Ben also write some information about the next trunk of Mozilla Firefox, called Firefox 1.1 which will come out at sometime around March 2005. "We don't have ambitious goals for this release aside from getting the branch landed on the trunk and ongoing HIG compliance work for Aqua/GNOME, as well as general bug fixing.", ben Said.
