TechWeb is reporting that Mozilla Corp. has
pushed back the release date of the final version of Firefox 2.0 into mid-to-late October, citing outstanding bugs. As of Monday's weekly progress meeting Firefox 2 has about 40 bugs to squash before it will be ready for a second beta release, and about 100 before its final release in October. Accordingly, Firefox 2.0 beta 2, which was supposed to be released yesterday, has been pushed back a week to August 23, and the first release candidate is scheduled to appear on September 19. You can read the
full minutes of the meeting on the MozillaWiki.

It's starting to look like a trend, delaying the release of new versions: first Vista, then Leopard and now Firefox 2.0 . Doesn't really matter as long as the final release is stable, I'm sure Firefox 1.5 will do for a few more weeks.
