Mozilla has delayed the delivery of Firefox 3.5 Release Candidate (RC) until late next week to take care of several last-minute bugs, a company executive said today.
Beltzner attributed the bug finds to a “newfound rigor” in testing, as well as a larger number of users hammering on the RC code. “[All this] makes it easier for us to spot potential problems with a milestone much earlier than ever before,” he said. Mozilla is now hoping to post Firefox 3.5 RC for download late next week, in the June 10-12 time frame.
The final version of Firefox 3.5 may yet make Mozilla’s end-of-this-month deadline. But all things will have to go smoothly, and Mozilla would have to limit itself to a single RC.
