Definitely worth downloading. :D
Remember to install the "Nightly Tester Tool" extension.

David, RCs are usually the final versions of a product. RC 2 and 3 will be deployed if any issues arise with RC1 (according to Beltzner)

It looks so horrible on OS X. I have immediately downgraded.

>> It looks so horrible on OS X.

That's funny, because Mozilla's main aim with this redesign was to "respect native OS look and feel".

yeah, i like it but i think it was a bad choice. it makes me think of the AOL browser when I open it up. The browser should respect the native OS look and thats why there are themes you can use to change it if you like.

Oh, and don't download it, as it's not yet a release (it's in the "nightly" directory).
