Last week we reported on several bugs uncovered in Firefox 3.0 RC1. At the time, Mozilla was wrestling with the decision on whether to release Firefox 3.0 as is and patch the bugs in a later update or delay the final release and issue a second release candidate. Today Mozilla announced it has decided to go with the second release candidate which will push the final release date back by about five days. That means the final product should be available by mid-June. There were about 40 bugs total, most of which had already been patched. Of the 40, approximately a quarter of them related to localized versions of Firefox. If all proceeds according to plan, RC2 should be released just after June 5.
