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.

    • Visual Studio finally gets long-awaited feature that developers will love by Usama Jawad Visual Studio Code is Microsoft's popular, lightweight, open-source code editor, it is actually Visual Studio that is the company's flagship integrated development environment (IDE). Although the IDE already offers a boatload of useful features for developers, Microsoft has finally introduced a long-requested capability that will be loved by many. While developers have already been able to create Git pull requests (PRs) directly within Visual Studio for the past couple of years, it had not been possible to review a PR without switching to the browser, until now. Microsoft revealed in December 2025 that it is working on UX that enables developers to do just that, and fast-forward to June 2026, and Visual Studio finally has native capabilities to open and inspect a PR, discuss feedback, and wrap up the review, all without switching to the browser. This integration works for both GitHub and Azure DevOps (including on-prem). Developers have access to multiple surfaces to open a PR, including Git Repository, Git Changes, and the Git menu in Visual Studio. Once you open a PR, all the important details will be immediately visible to you, from where you can navigate to various levels of granularity and branch states, depending on the reviews that you are engaged in. As you would expect, you also get a diff view that enables you to see code changes inline or side-by-side in a separate panel. You can also review commit-by-commit. Additionally, this UX fosters collaboration as you can leave comments, reply to threads, and resolve conversations easily. Naturally, you can also leverage Copilot to apply a code suggestion to fix a potential issue. When you are done, you have the ability to approve, complete, and merge the PR. This is a pretty major feature as it has been requested heavily for the past few years. You can try it out in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, made available here recently. Microsoft plans to enhance this experience further in future releases with comment filtering, a timeline of PR activity, and more.

    • Around 68% of developers are now using AI to generate code during development, and some experts are saying that a single developer using AI tools can now do the work of an entire team of 4 to 5 engineers.  According to Figma's State of the Designer 2026 report, 72% of designers now use generative AI in their workflows and 91% say it improves the quality of their work, not just their speed.  But does this mean web developers and designers are becoming less relevant, or are they simply evolving into a different kind of role? Would love to hear from developers and designers here has AI made your job easier, or do you feel threatened by how fast these tools are improving
