"The final version of Mozilla Firefox 2.0 was slated for release tomorrow, but appears to already be available for download via releases.mozilla.org," MacNN reports. "Firefox 2.0 features built-in anti-phishing controls, built-in RSS and XML feed-viewing capabilities, and a new inline spell checker. Further Firefox 2.0 features include the ability to create bookmarks with "Live Titles" for websites that offer "microsummaries," a new Add-ons manager that simplifies management of extensions as well as themes, and support for Javascript 1.7."

The one you have is NOT the final version. Note the date on your version: Gecko/20061003. On my copy of Firefox 2.0 for Windows, it says Gecko/20061010.

Crap. You mean it crashes every ten minutes?

And your evidence of this is?

There may be some problems with Firefox 2.0 -- I put up a vanity thread here:
