New version of Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.8 now available

Don't get too excited, there's a new version of the popular web browser, Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.8 available. However, we ask you not to get too excited as you can't expect this updated browser to be packed full of new features. In fact, there aren't any new features. Much like the current situation with Opera 9.24 and the previews of the forthcoming Opera 9.5 release, Firefox 2.0.0.8 is merely a new release with a few new bug and security fixes.

What we're all waiting for is the first beta release of Firefox 3, which was originally planned as an official release in October or November 2007. That's clearly delayed as the first beta isn't even available. We estimate the beta should be available during November as there have already been around eight alpha previews.
