Firefox Final 2.01 Released

The version filehippo's pushing is the last RC, which should match the release version, but it's usually a good idea to wait for an announced release...

Sites jumping the gun like this is why the nightlies are now called Bon Echo, Gran Paradiso and Minefield.
Yeah I checked out Mozilla.com and there was nothing there so I assumed Filehippo were jumping the gun as you say but looking at the previous Firefox release on FH they've listed RC versions as that but not this time.

Noobs.:rolleyes:
 
Sorta. The latest RC, if it doesn't have any blockers, becomes the release version. So if 2.0.0.2 RC5 doesn't have any, it'll be the release version that's announced (in an hour, I guess).

If you want to save a big download, wait for automatic upload to do the job (700kB versus 7.5MB).
At least they aren't linking directly to the Mozilla FTP...

I never seem to invoke the auto update though. And I like to have the latest version of FF on my PC in case I have to reinstall.

Yeah one thing I like about Filehippo is that at least it appears as if they host the files themselves rather than to the original software site.
