BetaAddict Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Bit early surely? Even with the hugely accelerated roadmap. Technically, isn't Minefield going to go into FF5 once beta is complete? I think it did in the past since RC is basically bug fixes and quality assurance, which leaves the developers to go back to working on implementing features that did not make it into FF4.

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted March 4, 2011 Veteran Share Posted March 4, 2011 Once Firefox 4 is "finished", it'll branch off and the trunk will become Firefox 5 (which should be released about 3 months afterwards if they stick to the new schedule, so in June) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/980176-meet-firefox-50/#findComment-593756840 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Gary7 Subscriber² Posted March 7, 2011 Subscriber² Share Posted March 7, 2011 They can't even get an RC out and yet Mozilla is looking at Firefox 4,5 6 and possibly 7 to be completed by the end of 2011..

Kyang Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 They can't even get an RC out and yet Mozilla is looking at Firefox 4,5 6 and possibly 7 to be completed by the end of 2011.. It has taken 12 months on Firefox 4 and it is not finished yet. Beam me up! Since people keep claiming Firefox 4 is taking so long, I decided to actually go and look up the time between versions. 1.0 to 1.5: 1 year, 20 days 1.5 to 2.0: 10 months, 25 days 2.0 to 3.0: 1 year, 7 months, 24 days 3.0 to 3.5: 1 year, 13 days 3.5 to 3.6: 6 months, 22 days 3.6 to 4.0 (now): 1 year, 1 month, 9 days So yeah, the time between 3.6 and 4.0 isn't that bad, and isn't even as long as the time between 2.0 to 3.0. People said the same things about 3.0 as they're saying about 4.0 (Taking too long, too many beats, irrelevant, etc.). And funnily enough 3.0 was also the release that set the world record for downloads :laugh: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/980176-meet-firefox-50/#findComment-593764526 Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted March 19, 2011 Veteran Share Posted March 19, 2011 Concepts are good cannot wait to see how Fx will evolve over the next few months. I hope it does not just end up being a Chrome Clone though.

amon91 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Yeah, so do I. That said, Mozilla is going to be speeding up releases in order to compete with Chrome (in fact, many major releases are scheduled for later this year, if I'm not mistaken). Along with that, expect smaller UI changes with each release. I wouldn't be surprised with FF 5.0 looked really similar to FF4.

Steven P.

I like the idea of this as most of the updates in the last year have not been enhancements but security patches.

Where as I would prefer to enhancement patches more recent :D This would work not only for browsers, but for apps in general. Wouldn't it be awesome if you bought Photoshop and for x years you got incremental releases with new features every couple of months? Let go the current versioning system completely.

Sorry, felt like being a douche. :p Not quite, IE9 has a pinned app tab in the "Superbar" and Firefox will have it in the browser, same thing, two different locations for it.. But the same thing essentially. What I don't know is if this app tab will magically change with each different site/tab or if it will need to be like IE9 (its own Window).

But the same thing essentially. What I don't know is if this app tab will magically change with each different site/tab or if it will need to be like IE9 (its own Window). Personally I like neither. Back when I was using IE9 as main (that lasted 3 days, by the way), I just felt I could just bookmark the website and use it like that in most cases, without the need for a new window. Plus I tend to just navigate away from an app when I no longer need it, and with IE9, it would still display the colorful buttons and the app icon, even though I wasn't using the app anymore. That was annoying. The "app tabs" also won't do it, since they reset whenever you launch the browser, and if you have many, they will run in the background all the time. The state of those stabs should be saved unless the user specified otherwise. Web apps, it's a really early thing, everyone is still trying to figure out how to do it.
