Wondering if there is any word about firefox 17 coming out on the 20th which is the wikipedia firefox release history date if it will be out by then or the date have change?

[Shane Nokes]

The ESR (Extended Service Release) build is already on the servers...so the regular build should be there in time unless something goofy happens.

It will surely release today, not to worry just hang for little time.

17?! man they're pumping them out like an assembly line.

Looks like someone made a mistake. We're definitely on 16 right now and 17 should be out today.

Skyfrog beat me to it, someone made a mistake. 17 should be out later today, and 18 will be released in Jan.

Quite a lot of changes in FF17, better read this: https://blog.mozilla...for-firefox-17/
and confirm about compatibility yourself.

I really don't like the social features they are integrating into it, even if they are optional there are already addons that do that stuff. No need to build it right into the browser, that's just pointless feature creep. Have they forgotten what made Firefox popular in the first place?

The Extended Service release is already on their servers:

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/17.0esr/

Social integration, you are having a laugh.
Someone fork firefox and remove all the **** that's getting added in to it lately.

Whats the extended one got over the latest 17b6 ?

[n_K]

Extended is probably the one that they're doing for businesses, i.e. it'll be extended support.
You know, when mozilla said businesses shouldn't be using firefox and made releases very fast so all business dumped firefox, they lost a lot of market share and now want it back again so said it was a little misunderstanding?

[Shane Nokes]

Actually Mozilla didn't say that. Mozilla said that businesses should be on the ESR channel, not the release channel.

As such they release a new version every 7 major builds that is an ESR build...and it will automatically take those businesses from 10 to 17.
