Expect some delays in the Firefox 3.6 release schedule. FF 3.6b1 was NOT released early September.

Oh Firefox, where do you wanna go?
Major part of users don’t need Mozilla Labs.

I agree, the development cycle should be faster.
A year is a good time between major releases, but minor ones should be smaller and more often.
And I really don’t get this trend to include extensions in the main browser release.
I don’t want Personas, Ubiquity or Prism making the browser heavy on my hard-drive and RAM usage! They should remain extensions, opt-in not mandatory features.

I think a year long development time is just too long for a webbrowser. Shorter releases with a narrower focus could also help with promoting Firefox. Each time you release a new version you get press and each time you can say where your focus was so people can see and feel the difference.

dammit! why personas and not ubiquity? IMO apps must have the look and feel of the OS…

and support for windows 7 would be very nice incoming… i personally use windows 7 since beta 1 and love it..
