Meet Firefox 4.0.1


Recommended Posts

they added another blocker so 2 again :laugh: what is going on in mozilla?

They're finding bugs, working out how severe they are, and fixing them or putting them back until the next beta.

Of the two open issues, one may already be fixed by a backout, and the other has a potential fix. So don't get too depressed.

(And remember, just because this list feels static, doesn't mean development is: it's going on all the time in the background on non-blocking bugs)

back to zero again :laugh: honestly though i wish firefox had a development schedule like google chrome or opera because they would have been done with 4.0 by now. i wouldnt have a problem if they were getting the release candidate out in january because thats only a month away but that appears to not be likely since there are still 2 more betas after beta 8 comes out. so i am frustrated a bit with there development cycle.

note: there has been some movement it looks like on creating the beta 8 builds because this page is now live: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases/Firefox_4.0b8/BuildNotes

Back to 1 bug. The list of bugs to be fixed in Beta 9 is also up.

Yeah, I wish Firefox 4 wasn't taking so long either, but there are so many changes that it was bound to take quite some time. I think I read somewhere that there have been over 1500 bugs fixed since Beta 7, so there's a lot going on. It's mostly behind the scenes, though, so we don't notice most of it.

the first release candidate build of firefox beta 8 is now available through mozilla ftp server: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/4.0b8-candidates/build1/

this wont be the final version of beta 8 (QA will need a week to make sure everything is a go and that no new blockers pop up)

i am guessing we will see beta 8 next tuesday than if no new problems occur.

Nice find. Looks like they are in the process of uploading them, starting with linux. Hopefully we see the first build for windows in the next few hours.

most likely but i wouldnt be surprised if there is a build 2 or 3 of the release candidate before final version of beta 8 comes out.

good news though :) work on the last 2 betas begins! than release candidate. its gonna be a long wake for the final though. 620 bugs remaining (16 ready to land)
