Firefox 0.9 Expected Release Date Announced


Recommended Posts

,Jun 4 2004, 17:47] so its IE6 without windows update's ability to fix the holes.. sounds great.. :rolleyes:

If you update Internet Explorer then it affects all applications that uses IE... unless you have the original source code.

,Jun 4 2004, 23:35] :punk: Great to hear that a new release is so close! But how can Firefox (my favorite browser of all time) get any better? :$

an extension manager that allows you to uninstall extensions and also update them from directly within the manager without having to visit and site and manually update.

It should say 6/12 or 6/14 or when we feel like it. ;) I hope 0.9 comes soon, but I don't give their release dates any credibility anymore. They are always behind.

You could be right. While i want it to be released at the earlier date there were quite a few bugs that showed up in yesterday's branch.. Im thinking the 2nd date is more correct for a final release.. It all depends on when they call a RC1.

0.9 most likley will be out, as the bug list is close to completion (16 bugs, with most of them being 'tracker' bugs which just track progress of general elements like build size and get reassigned every release).

Mozilla Update looks REALLY cool. It's gonna be a lot easier for people to get what they need in extensions...

They have never once claimed that any release dates were set in stone. For every milestone, they make it very clear that it will be out when it is ready and not sooner.

    • You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.
    • I don't get this David. Can you explain it please.  
    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
    • Hello, The Media Creation Tool is still at v10.0.26100.7019 from October 2025. Just looks like the backend has been updated. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
