We just had Firefox 3.5.4 and 3.6 Beta 1 , but dont think ull get next version after months! Within next few days u'll find next versions to be out. Thanks to chrome for starting such a trend.

Have 3.5.5 by 5 November or so and Firefox 3.6 RC1 by late November. This was just an appetizer! Further , have Firefox 3.5.6 by 15 December and Firefox 3.6 Final by Mid~late December.

I fear that this might lead to drastic repercussions too. Mozilla had never coded so vigorously ever, so the quality can be affected too. Anyways , firefox 3.6 Beta 1 is super cool and fast for me , only network prioritization part and Ts improvements are left , which will escalate priority of using bandwidth for the current tab and improve boot time respectively , further improving 'visual performance' . By this , firefox 3.6 goals will be achieved and development emphasis will be shifted towards 3.7 (new UI + Even faster response,boot time + faster JS performance). You can refer to this page to know about upcoming goals and their ETA.

For more information , have a look @ this and this

i thought that Google and Mozilla are partners in someway...!!!!

They should be working together and not against each other.

Well i like the look and preform of Google chrome and love the features that Firefox offers

i only hope that someday these two browsers become one.

That would provide the ultimate browsing experience to all the WWW surfers

They're aiming for smaller releases with fewer features (like what Chrome does), the work is being done at the same rate, except now it gets released sooner.

Dramatically sooner!

Firefox 3.5.4 - 27 October

Firefox 3.5.5 - 5 November

Its just little more than a week!!

I dont take them as partners from now on words , btw Chrome is taking firefox's share and not of IE , thats really bad , it evolved from Mozillan codes and Webkit , and is now against both of the root browsers ...(Firefox and Safari)

Chrome is still a beta to me , lots of sites still dont work properly , it goes mad sometimes (Whoa!Crash.. and Opps! :p) and is slower when we talk about page loading thing , firefox and opera look faster in that case. And if we talk about features and customizations , chrome comes below IE too!

3.5.5 is a rush release, since 3.5.4 had a few crashing bugs in it that nobody picked up through testing.

It's nothing new, other minor releases have been rushed out to fix bugs.

Edit: Mozilla and Google are "friends", The multi-progress work in Firefox uses the IPC stack from Chromium, and their crash reporter is also from Google, and they're contributing code to both.

    • 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
    • Since they open sourced the calculator in Win 10/11 it is much better and can do a lot, I love it.
    • That's just silly imo. The lengths that man goes to just to avoid W11 is just nuts. Very, very few home users would do that. I will say this though, he is committed. Btw, I note on askwoody that Woody Leonhard passed away March, 2025 aged 73. His site was one of my favorites back in the day. Belated yes but RIP Woody.
