Ok, Mozilla just launched Firefox 3 Beta 2, the second beta candidate of the third iteration of its popular web browser. I’m expecting that they will release the final version of Firefox 3 within a month. 
For IE8, Microsoft has speak publicly for the first time about it on its development blog. It says the first beta candidate would be delivered in the first half of 2008.
Microsoft has announced that it will focus its efforts on multi-platform support and compatibility. It also says it will fix the Cascading Style-Sheet (CSS) issues that crept up due to improvements to CSS in the IE7 release.
Hopefully, the CSS issue will be fixed as it is really a pain in the Azz for IE users.
The browser also is reported survived the “Acid2 Browser Test”. The development team acknowledges that Acid2 is not an official standards test, but is a good example of the browser’s growing maturity. FYI, Firefox 2 and the future 3 version is not Acid2 tested however according to Mozilla FF3 is set to pass the test :>
