Mozilla Scraps Firefox 1.1, Looks to 1.5

Mozilla has just updated the Firefox development roadmap to reflect a decision on the next major release of the popular open-source browser. The non-profit foundation has decided to increase the version number of the next major release to 1.5 from 1.1, reflecting the sheer number of bug fixes and features that have been worked into the next version of the browser. Mozilla still plans to ship the next version of Firefox (now Firefox 1.5: "Deer Park") around September of this year:

*Firefox 1.4: Beta release in August 2005
Feature Complete general public preview release

*Firefox 1.5: Milestone Release
New Gecko, ongoing HIG compliance, software update system and extension manager improvements

The roadmap update comes just days after the discovery of a major flaw in Firefox, which has raised security concerns quite similar to those that have plagued ActiveX and Internet Explorer for years.

Even the 2.0 and the 3.0 are being planned :O

This is what i call too fast too soon !! :tongue: :tongue:
 
with the side effect that a big rlease with not so good features will not be liked by anyone and can damage their own reputation
 
i don mind the delay as long as they are providing regular security upgrades.
infact the delay in a wa is good and will only mean more new features included
til the time its released. don go by those v2 and v3 dates as they are bound to
get knocked back further as new bugs are discovered and features invented. ;)
