Firefox 2.0 Beta 2 Released

While mozillaZine has not made an announcement yet, CyberNet Tech News has, Firefox 2.0 Beta 2 is out! A couple interesting changes in Beta 2, the new default theme or visual refresh is in place now. Also noticed a couple minor changes with the tab bar. After opening a certain number of tabs you will get arrows on either end to scroll through your open tabs. However, I much prefer the drop-down tab list (see below) over the arrows. Also, the session restore has been setup now to automatically restore where you left off in the event of a crash as well as when Firefox needs to restart (due to installing/removing an extension or theme).

This release was only 3 weeks later than predicted and the next step will be Release Candidate 1, which is tentatively scheduled for September 19th with the final release of Firefox 2.0 in late October.

UPDATE mozillaZine announced on September 1st: Mozilla Firefox 2 Beta 2 Milestone Released
