Mozilla released Firefox RC1 earlier today.
this release has nothing new over the previous betas .. only bug fixes were added.
But to talk about the shift from 1.5.x to 2 there is much to say.
i’m going throw the most cool features i liked as listed in the official release notes

Visual Refresh: i had a bad experience with Firefox interface before it goes slowww after a while specially with a large number of tabs … i hope they fixed it.
Enhanced search capabilities: this just great .. we had to install extensions in the past just add, edit or remove search engines .. it’s perfect now .
Improved tabbed browsing: there is three things here i used to do manually using extensions every time i install firefox .. the close tab button , the restoring session feature and links opening automaticallt in a new tab.
Previewing and subscribing to Web feeds: more control on RSS feeds .. it’s not only live bookmarks now but we have the option to suscribe to any RSS reading service we want (web-based, standalone).
