Mozilla Postpones Firefox 2.0 Beta 2
Source: TechWeb
_________ Firefox 2.0, which appeared as Beta 1 last month, was to shift into Beta 2 Aug. 8, but will now be posted Tuesday, Aug. 15 according to minutes of the company's weekly status meeting. The minutes didn't explicitly spell out the reason for the delay, but by comments posted there, several regression errors and numerous other bugs still must be addressed. |

Some big regressions delayed it, builds from 28/7 to 06/8 was very buggy because of some regressions.
And the current builds have a ton of theme bugs, because the new 2.0 theme has landed, so that need to be fixed first. |

To put a positive spin on it, when they see the need for a delay, they DELAY.
Plenty of software companies kick stuff out of the door in a far worse state.

To re-negative the spin, none of their competitors do that.
