Anticipation is high for the upcoming launch of Firefox 3, with the recent Release Candidate 2 scoring good reviews from the likes of Walt Mossberg. We at Download Squad are constantly receiving tips that the finished product is coming soon. Well, here's the scoop: according to Firefox's development team, RC2 for Windows and Linux was good enough that it's getting copied straight over into RC3. For Mac, things are a little bit different. The OS X version is getting a few fixes and going through more testing, to work out some problems introduced by the 10.5.3 update.If you've been watching the nightly builds like a hawk and sending in tips, your wait is nearly over. The Firefox Group says there are only 17 more issues on the list, and they should be dealt with by the end of the week. We don't have a hard and fast date for the release yet, but we believe the folks at Mozilla when they say it's coming soon.

I'm still annoyed that they couldn't get "Print Selection" to work right. It seems to always drop the last page, or cut off the end. I submitted so many reports on this...

Is this a joke? Still can't even get 100/100 on ACID3. Lame. Webkit FTW.

Enjoy your minuscule community providing sod-all content. I'll be over here with the tens of thousands of helpful addons, crying in my beer because my browser misrenders some really obscure CSS features nobody uses.
