Firefox 3.0 Beta 2 Released

March 20th, 2006

As Asa Dotzler noted, people love to jump the gun and publish stories about new Firefox versions being released. The blogosphere and sites such as Digg also means that these stories spread around the internet really fast.

Techcrunch said today that Firefox 2.0 Alpha had been released and the article was referenced by multiple blogs including ZDNet.

And of course, Neowin gaffed big time a few months ago by calling the release of Firefox 1.5 a long time before it was released bragging about their exclusive.

People on Digg seem to love calling Firefox release dates. At least 4 of them have made the home page before:

Anyway, I'm officially announcing that Firefox 3.0 Beta 2 is going to be released some time around the end of the year. And I announced it first so Digg me!
