Mozilla has already released the first beta of the Firefox 2 browser application and the beta 2 was recently delayed for a couple of weeks.

Firefox 2 beta 2 is currently scheduled for release on August 23 and the release candidate version of Firefox 2 is scheduled for release on September 19. Firefox 2 final is expected to be out on October 24.

In the meantime, the foundation would be releasing Firefox 1.5.0.7 — the next security update for the current production version of the browser sometime in the first week of September.
