Deadlines for the final releases of Firefox 3.6 and 4.0 are slightly offset. And in the wrong direction in which we would like.
Under the new plan , the release of Firefox 3.6 was moved to I square. 2010, although earlier it was planned to finish the work in December.
The fourth release also got a little further. If before the goal was clearly until the end of 2010, then in the new graph there is already a vague wording “at the end of 2010 or the beginning of 2011”. We know from experience that the schedule is unlikely to take place, so it’s probably not worth waiting for Firefox 4.0 before 2011. However, the beta version is still scheduled for the summer. ')
Nowadays, the competition of browsers has become so dense that every month the delay already gives odds to competitors. Opera and Chrome publish several releases a year, not to mention IE, which is also not in a hurry to leave the stage.
