As part of Mozilla Corporation’s ongoing stability and security update process, Firefox 2.0.0.14 is now available for Windows, Mac, and Linux for free download from http://getfirefox.com.

We strongly recommend that all Firefox users upgrade to this latest release. If you already have Firefox 2.x, you will receive an automated update notification within 24 to 48 hours. This update can also be applied manually by selecting “Check for Updates…” from the Help menu.

For a list of changes and more information, please review the Firefox 2.0.0.14 Release Notes.

If you are still running Firefox 1.5.0.x, you are highly encouraged to upgrade to the Firefox 2 series as Mozilla ceased supporting Firefox 1.5.0.x in May 2007. Simply choose “Check for Updates…” from the Help menu to begin the upgrade process.

As discussed at today’s Firefox 3 / Gecko 1.9 meeting, as of 11:59pm PDT tonight, the tree entered a lockdown period in preparation for delivering Firefox 3 Release Candidate 1.

We’ll be using the same process that has been used for the past betas. The blocker lists will be driven to zero, and only patches with explicit approval will be allowed to land in order to more tightly control potential for regressions. After taking the final blocker, we will likely enter a short bake period before handing over to build.

The tree rules have been updated to reflect that at this time the only patches that may land are:

• patches with approval1.9+
• patches that do not affect the Firefox build (tests, NPOTB changes)

The approval queue will be monitored frequently, but if you feel like you’re not getting the response time you require, feel free to find one of the “endgame drivers” on IRC or poke them over email.

We encourage interested parties to follow along with the progress of the Firefox 3 RC1 release.
