Firefox 5 to be released on June 21?

PanARMENIAN.Net - Firefox 5 is being prepared for a release on June 21, according to Geek.com.

There’s no information about what new features the next version of Firefox will have. Mozilla is taking the same approach that Google is taking with Chrome: faster updates, more releases, and no waiting to bundle major features together into a bigger update that takes longer to assemble.

To contrast, Google steadily and regularly releases updates for Chrome, silently downloading them and installing them in the background when a user closes and then re-opens the app.

Mozilla developers are hoping to keep up with its browser competitors by slipstreaming bug fixes and minor updates more regularly, and introduce major updates as they’re available instead of waiting.

All of that aside, nobody knows yet what Firefox 5′s features will be. Mozilla has said they want at least four major releases of Firefox in 2011, but the product roadmap doesn’t list major features aside from things like “anything that improves responsiveness and is ready” and “anything that improves stability and is ready,” among others.
