Get Firefox 2.0 early from Mozilla's FTP servers

A day before the scheduled public release of its long-awaited Firefox 2.0 Web browser, the Mozilla Foundation has posted the final versions of the software on its FTP servers in preparation for the public launch.

The official Firefox 2.0 public launch page has not been activated on the Mozilla site, but the new U.S. versions for Windows, Linux and Macintosh are available now, buried amid the data on the groupĆ¢€™s FTP servers. Versions in other languages are also available at MozillaĆ¢€™s FTP site.

On Friday, Mozilla had said it would make the new Firefox 2.0 browser available tomorrow. The last preview version of the browser, called Release Candidate 3, was posted for public download last Monday. The official Firefox Web page still offers version 1.5.0.7 of the browser for download, but is expected to be updated or replaced to allow downloads of Firefox 2.0.
