Good afternoon! I'm here with your weekly round-up of Firefox and Mozilla updates. We actually have two weeks of news to cover because of last week's interview with Firefox's Creative Lead Aza Raskin -- but that just means I won't have to fall back on useless persona padding to fill out this column.Let's get stuck in with some juicy Firefox 3.6.4 and 4.0 beta news:
1. Firefox 3.6.4 beta 5 is probably the final version, and Firefox 4.0 beta looks set to arrive in June
The official roadmap has Firefox 3.6.4 being released June 1, so unless Mozilla squeezes out another beta version of 3.6.4, the current beta is probably the real deal.
More excitingly (because, let's face it, 3.6 is a bit of a bore), Firefox 4.0 should have a beta release before the end of June. Its Mozilla Wiki page has been significantly updated in the last two weeks and we can now see which features are being frantically worked on for the first beta.
I think most people already know what we can expect from Firefox 4.0, but it's reassuring to see that Test Pilot is going to take the feedback-gathering reins -- hopefully when 4.0 launches it will already be as fast and stable as Chrome.
