cro-man Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Mozilla Corp. Thursday confirmed that it will release the final beta of Firefox 3.0 shortly, and that it expects to deliver the finished browser to users in June.Firefox 3.0 Beta 5 has been code-frozen, said Mike Schroepfer, Mozilla's vice president of engineering, and is working its way toward release. "That will be the last beta for Firefox 3.0," he said. Once Beta 5 is out of the way, developers will move to the Release Candidate (RC) stage.Release Candidate 1 (RC1) should be ready sometime in early May, said Schroepfer, assuming Mozilla meets its current schedule. "The release candidates will move a little slower than beta," he continued, noting that the company must make allowances for public feedback.Full story: ComputerWorld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JurgenDoe Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 (edited) I've installed FF3 beta but I didn't like the theme very much. Anyhow most addons will be automatically updated for the FF3b4 version if you hit the button make all compatible :cheff: Edited March 31, 2008 by JurgenDoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
