So, it’s official. Firefox 3 is ready for ts close up Mr. De Mille. It is set to be released June 17th, 2008.
OK, so nothing nearly as disturbing as the scene with the Norma Desmond character.
From Mozilla Dev Blog:
Whenever we’re asked “when is Firefox going to be released†we endeavor to answer to the best of our abilities, but the truth of the matter is that we’ll only ever ship “when it’s ready“. We have a lot of indicators that help us understand when the product is ready for release: feedback from our pre-release milestones, excitement in the community and the press, availability of compatible Add-Ons, and a large active beta community helping us ensure that the release is compatible with all the various sites on the Internet.
I have been actively using is the release candidates and I’m very impressed with it. Especially when you compare it to version 2.x. Congrats to Mozilla folks!
