Yeap, you heard me right, RC1 is now available for download. After testing the various betas of firefox over the last months, they’ve all been pretty stable. I’m sure this version will be no different, although expect a few add-on/theme glitches while the community gets compatible with the new version.
However, everything else, at least on the surface, appears to be the same as previous betas, although under the hood I’m sure things are continually being tweaked.
The anti-phising and inclusion of spell check facilities are the really welcome additions mentioned before, that new users to 2.0 will find the benefit to immediately - I did however have problems downloading the British dictionary, so I had to make do with an Australian-English version (hopefully not too different) while the author adjusts to the new version.
Apart from that, it’s looking good so far, but as always will give a full update within a couple of days. Enjoy the latest version (which is apparently pretty close to the final version) but as always, download at your own risk - betas can seriously harm your PC’s health!!

Just as a side note, the website is getting hammered at the moment, so if you don’t get any joy downloading the latest beta, give it an hour or so and try again.
