It looks like the Opera devs are pretty close to passing the Acid2 test. Just a few more bugfixes and they will be done! Hopefully they will release a version with all the fixes too, in a not too distant future.
Firefox has got left in the backwater of Safari and Opera here. The current nightlies of v1.1 still display the face like this:
Hopefully we will see the Acid2 fixes for Firefox after v1.1 is released this autumn. (Don't expect that release any sooner...)
I also sincerely hope the IE Trident developers (Chris Wilson & co) are working towards passing the Acid2 test. If there isn't time before shipping v7.0, then maybe at least for a version such as 7.1 or 7.5.

Why not? I understand it's summer now, but still WHY???

Because no Mozilla release has ever been released anywhere near the estimated release date... ;-) (Remember v1.0 was first aimed at ~summer 2004, then October 2004, and then November 2004.)
Version 1.1 is aimed at July. In Sweden, August is the beginning of the autumn - that's why I said autumn. (Didn't consider the fact that summer lasts much longer in other places... :-)
Also, this is not so much a complaint as an observation.
