Can someone please point me to a link where I can see what has changed since RC1, which bugs
got fixed and so on?

I cut&pasted rc1 and rc2 notes into Meld and can tell you a few things. This paragraph has
changed (before, Windows was treated differently):

"Please note that installing Firefox 3 will overwrite your existing installation of Firefox on
Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows. For all systems, you won't lose any of your bookmarks or
browsing history, but some of your extensions and other add-ons might not work until updates
for them are made available."

Also, known issues were added.  This is probably not something to be taken as a changelog.

Here is a HTML diff between the rc1 and rc2 announcements. Not much going on there, and no list of fixed bugs unfortunately.

Can't wait for rc 3...

Beta 4 was stable, almost never crashed. Beta 5 was horribly buggy, crashing at least every 5
minutes. RC1 was stable, almost never crashed. RC2 is buggy, crashing on every second Youtube
video. Since I'm a version number fetishist and don't like to downgrade versions I can't wait
for the next release.
