Firefox 2.0 is due to be released on latest by today.
Availability of the next edition of the open source browser follows the (also) delayed release of Internet Explorer 7, Microsoft's market leading proprietary alternative, last week.
Firefox 2.0 boasts a raft of new features including an integrated in-line spell checker, as well as an anti-phishing tool, tightly-integrated search, and improvements in tabbed browsing. Mozilla published the "almost ready" Release Candidate 3 version of the browser last Tuesday (17 October).
The final release of the software package, which weighs in at around 5MB, will be available in 39 languages for systems running Windows, Mac and Linux computers from getfirefox.com from Tuesday (24 October).
