Mozilla has confirmed that the newest version of their Firefox browser, 4.0, will launch on March 22nd. Firefox 4 has had one of the longest development cycles out of all the Firefox versions, having gone through 12 betas before reaching the release candidate version last week and now readying for the stable release next week.
“Firefox 4 RC1 has received a very warm welcome; it’s time to make a decision to ship,” said Mozilla’s Damon Sicore. “As of now, there are no known issues that would stop us from shipping RC1 as final.
Mozilla has stated earlier that version 4 would be the last long evolution update and they would be going to smaller updates that take shorter development and testing times moving forward. This is being done to help shore up the encroachment on Firefox's market share by Google's Chrome browser which previously had a much shorter update cycle.
