Firefox 3 Beta 4 review

Percy Cabello: Firefox 3 Beta 4 is about to be released (later today or tomorrow), as the twelfth milestone, in what already is the longest development time for a Firefox version since the initial Firefox 1.0 back in 2004.



Fortunately, Mozilla has not been shy to set as many milestones as needed, and given the many new features and tweaks Firefox 3 introduces, it seems anything but sensible, specially considering its not only about Firefox but Gecko, the web page rendering engine and the Mozilla platform as a whole which affects the many products based on it.

Mozilla has announced the official release of the third Firefox 3 beta, which includes many user interface improvements and a handful of new features.

Mozilla considers third Firefox 3.1 beta for early January

The second Firefox 3.1 beta release is past due, but already we are hearing that a third beta will be necessary before Mozilla can proceed to a release candidate, as it would give testers more time to try out with recently added features debuting in beta 2 such as Private Browsing Mode, Worker Threads, Speculative Parsing and TraceMonkey. The open source group also needs more time to work on so-called "blockers" – bugs that are deemed serious enough to hold up code to be frozen prior to a milestone release.

Mozilla freezes Firefox 3.0 Beta 3

As Mozilla Corp. began the final push on Firefox 3.0 Beta 3 this week, it also announced that at least one more beta will be necessary before it starts building release candidates.



On Tuesday, Mozilla "froze" the code for Firefox 3.0 Beta 3. Testing of the beta is scheduled to start on Monday.



At the same time, in a message to the mozilla.dev.planning newsgroup, Mike Beltzner, Mozilla's interface designer, said that a fourth beta would be required.



" will be adding another milestone before moving on to Release Candidate builds," Beltzner said. "Our goal is to do a quick turnaround on Firefox 3 Beta 4, but we cannot provide a good estimate until we know the size and scope of blockers remaining after the Beta 3 code freeze."

Mozilla Expects to Release Firefox 3.0 Final in June

Mozilla Corp. Thursday confirmed that it will release the final beta of Firefox 3.0 shortly, and that it expects to deliver the finished browser to users in June. Firefox 3.0 Beta 5 has been code-frozen, said Mike Schroepfer, Mozilla's vice president of engineering, and is working its way toward release. "That will be the last beta for Firefox 3.0," he said. Once Beta 5 is out of the way, developers will move to the Release Candidate (RC) stage.

Release Candidate 1 (RC1) should be ready sometime in early May, said Schroepfer, assuming Mozilla meets its current schedule. "The release candidates will move a little slower than beta," he continued, noting that the company must make allowances for public feedback.

Mozilla delays Firefox 3.0 beta

Firefox 3.0's first beta has been delayed at least six weeks, Mozilla engineers said Sunday, and it now won't appear until the middle of September.

In a posting to the mozilla.dev. planning group Sunday, Mike Schroepfer, Mozilla's vice president of engineering, suggested a revamped milestone schedule for Firefox 3.0, the next major update to the popular open-source browser. Among the changes: a postponement of the first beta, slated as recently as last week to debut July 31. It's not expected until Sept. 18 at the earliest.

"Based on this criteria, it does not appear that M7 will be ready to be called a beta," Schroepfer wrote. In his post -- which he described as a written version of verbal discussions held last week -- Schroepfer used "M" designations to label milestones, which could be dubbed alphas or betas, depending on their stability. M6, for example, was the tag placed on Firefox 3.0 Alpha 6, the preview released July 4; at the time, that version was to be the last alpha before beta testing began. ..

Mozilla Firefox 1.5 Beta 1

As reported last week, Mozilla announced its beta schedule for the upcoming release of Firefox 1.5. Beta 1 will be released on September 8, followed by a second beta on October 5.

Further more, the first release candidate of the browser is expected on October 28, which indicates the final version of Firefox 1.5 would likely come sometime during the month of November.

Developer s warned, however, that the dates could shift depending on bugs and user feedback during the beta phase.

Alpha builds of the browser, code-named "Deer Park," have shown some of the features that may make it into the final version. Although, Mozilla has made no official announcement of the new features that are expected to be included in Firefox 1.5.

Some of the current enhancements include a better software update system to serve browser upgrades, the ability to reorder tabs through drag and drop functionality, and improved pop-up blocking.
