Publisher's description
From Mozilla :Note: Firefox 2 RC3 is a developer preview release of the next-generation Firefox browser and it is being made available for testing purposes only. Firefox 2 RC3 is intended for Web application developers and the Firefox testing community. Current users of Mozilla Firefox 1.x should not use Firefox 2 RC3.
Firefox 2 will aim to build on the success of Firefox by addressing issues related to the problem of managing the vast amounts of information available on the Internet. Our goal is to provide a browser that helps users manage and organize their online information channels. The latest pre-release version of Firefox 2 includes enhanced security in the extension system, support for Sherlock and OpenSearch search plug-ins, and a new Windows installer, among other updates.
Note: Beta or prerelease software is not intended for inexperienced users, as the software may contain bugs or may potentially damage your system. We strongly recommend that users exercise caution and save all mission-critical data before installing or using this software.

Version: Mozilla Firefox 2 RC3
Pros: RC3 seems to be a little more stable than RC2, but I had no real complaints with RC2!
This version of the browser seems to be the easiest and well suited of the release hopefuls yet!
With a few tweaks that all of us Firefox geeks usually place into the browser settings this version will, "Get up and go!"
Cons: I love the new spell check in Firefox 2, but it would be streamlined once it is programed to self correct the more obvious; such as a miss key on the key board!
Other than that, I can find very little wrong with this prototype!
It would be nice if Mozilla would release more extensions and add-ons so that we can get more testing done in to the true stability of the browser.

Version: Mozilla Firefox 2 RC3
Pros: Just as it has been before Firefox 2.0 (RC3) is the best of the browsers. This is of course true when compared to any version of IE (including the current RC version), but is also true when compared to other browsers. Firefox is the most customizable and secure browser on the market. Almost all of the Firefox extensions are now compatible with v. 2.0.
Cons: This isn't the Release To Market (RTM) edition of v. 2.0, but should be out shortly.

Version: Mozilla Firefox 2 RC3
Pros: Yet another testing version of Firefox 2. Still the best and always will be the best. I really like the new security Firefox has. the phishing filter, etc , very good tools. I don't see any major problems to use this as your main browser RIGHT NOW , even if it a beta and it is still in testing , it seems to be fine . IN GENERAL GREAT BROWSER AND I CANT WAIT FOR THE FULL VERSION. HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR ANY USER.

"Never make a spelling error again"
Pros: The spell-checking in forms (such as when writing this review) means you will never make a spelling mistake. Misspelled words are underlined in red and right-clicking will bring a list up. Its very nice and easy to use a great feature. Then of course theres the customization, security and speed all which make Firefox the best. It's also nice to see Mozilla constantly updating their product.
