On September 27, 2006 Mozilla Foundation announced the availability of Firefox 2.0 Release Candidate 1 (RC1). Paul Kim, Director of Product Marketing for Mozilla Corporation, said "Web application developers, our testing community, and users who want to get a sneak peek at the next version of Firefox should download and install this release candidate."
