=About:Release Management=
The Release Management Team is tasked with ensuring keeps the release process is on track while ensuring quality releases of our products and for users. We monitor releases, track work for upcoming releases, coordinate coordinating with any and all teams responsible for areas of release quality/, security, and stability. As release managers track specific features and individual bugs, we work with developers, engineering managers, product managers, UI/stability UX teams, and QE, monitoring everything that goes into a new version of Firefox under development.

Our goal is to ship the most stable & quality product we can ship possible for Firefox Desktop & Mobile.
