@ 2011/06/24Mozilla has launched Firefox 5, a new version of the popular open source Web browser. This is the first update that Mozilla has issued since adopting a new release management strategy that has drastically shortened the Firefox development cycle.
Mozilla introduced its ambitious 2011 roadmap in February, with a plan for delivering four major releases during the year. A draft of the new release management strategy was unveiled in March, before Firefox 4 was released. As we pointed out at the time, the new approach is a radical departure from how Firefox has traditionally been developed: Mozilla has historically issued only one major release a year.
