A new version of Firefox has been uploaded to various Mozilla ftp sites and mirrors throughout the globe which is always a sure sign that the homepage and the automatic updater in Firefox will pick the new version up pretty soon as well. Version 2.0.0.13 is labeled as a security and stability update which means you will not see new features in this release.

Download Firefox 2.0 Beta 1 Release Candidate
Tonight firefox 2.0 beta 1 release candidate has been uploaded to the mozilla ftp site and can be downloaded from there. Funny thing that happened to me was that I installed the new version and tried to run it but it would only start a new instance of firefox 1.5.0.4. That is until I tried to run firefox 2.0 without a 1.5.0.4 in the background.
