Upcoming Releases

Schedule & Progress

Firefox 3.6.4

• Found a new-ish blocker that will likely make us spin build #6
• Shipping build #5 to beta audience right now
  • Rationale:
    1. We had similar problems in build 4:
       • Jim Mathies Bug 563377 - Flash fullscreen window refuses to close. r=bent, a=clegnitto
    2. We fixed a bunch of build 4 issues, so beta users are better off overall
    3. Need to see crash-stats, etc for build #5 so we are sure issues fixed between 4 and 5 are truly fixed
    4. Additional testing on closer-to-release code
    5. No update fatigue as the update is automatic
    6. Takes ~15 mins to flip the switch and sign-off, trivial from a resource standpoint

Firefox 3.5.10

• Still on-track to release June 1st

Fennec 1.1 RC

• candidate builds will be ready tomorrow or the day after

Jetpack SDK 0.4

• stabilization has taken three RCs due to blockers being found in the first candidate and a blocker fix accidentally not landing in the second
• final release delayed one day, now tentatively scheduled to release on Thursday, May 27
• Release Process

Firefox Sync 1.3

Press & Public Reactions
