"Mozilla released Beta 2 of its upcoming Firefox 2 browser for developer review Aug. 31, emphasizing that it is being made available for testing purposes only. The release contains a number of new features, as well as some enhancements to look and feel. "Firefox 2 Beta 2 is intended for Web application developers and our testing community," the team said on the Mozilla development website. "Current users of Firefox 1.x should not use Firefox 2 Beta 2 and expect all of their extensions and plugins to work properly."

All of those are almost certainly in.
- a cairo based interface, called Thebes
- a new engine version (gecko 1.9)
Cairo/Gecko are basically the main change that 3 is supposed to introduce. There is no way I see them dropping this. If it isn't ready I expect them to delay the release instead of dropping it.
- Places (at least, yes, for 3.0)
Since this was supposed to be in 2.0 originally, it had better at least get into 3.0.
- a lot of bugs squashed
Obviously. All the known memory leaks are supposed to finally be corrected in 3.0, so that will be nice.
