Topic: Firefox 4 struggling to reach finishing line

[Simon]

Mozilla may release an eighth beta of Firefox 4 before heading to Release Candidate, as the open-source developer struggles to get the new browser out of the door.

Mozilla released the first beta of Firefox 4 in early July, but has since added a flurry of new features - such as App Tabs and Panorama - in successive betas, increasing the complexity of the release.

The Mozilla release schedule has a seventh beta pencilled in for the second half of this month, although there's speculation that an eighth beta might be issued before a release candidate, which isn't due until the second half of October.

better that than some half baked piece of s**t... e.g. IE of any version.

Im bored of all these Browser Wars. The most important thing for me is to search the Internet and read the pages in a safe and simple way. All this business about which Browser to use is becoming a bloody great bore!!!!

It sounds to me like the latest Firefox will be even more bloated than the last one.

It's not my fault, I haven't been feeding it, honest!

[Simon]

Well, you're probably too busy feeding yourself! 

[Rik]

True. I could keep a third world nation alive.

[GillE]

A third world nation?  Such as Scotland?

 

[Rik]

I'll call Lona.

[GillE]

Haven't heard from Lona for a while.  I hope she's okay.  Perhaps she's been seconded by the Scottish Commonwealth Games Team to go and put a flea or two in the ears of some Indian contractors.  Let's face it, if anyone could sort out that mess, it's Lona!

[Simon]

She's perfectly happy battling a double glazing  firm, Gill. 

[Rik]

Fresh round today.

[Simon]

Indeed.  She won't give up! 

[Rik]

I wonder when they'll issue a refund.
