Firefox for iOS Rapid Release Process
A single release is composed of 6 weeks of development time, a 4 week stabilization period, and a release period of approximately** 2 weeks.
Releases overlap such that development begins on the next release when the previous release enters stabilization.
Submissions take place every 6 weeks.
At the end of the 6-week period of development, once 'Feature Complete' has been declared, a Release branch is created off of Master, containing the features designated for that release.
It is the release branch that is then stabilized for 4 weeks until submission.
