Great post. It’s no bold guess that Namaroka will become Firefox 4, is it?

How about Mozilla start focusing a bit on making their browser keep up with the competition with regards to speed. Firefox 3 feels more and more bloated when you compare it to Safari 4, Google Chrome and even IE 8. Leave all the extra crap to extensions and focus on fixing memory leaks and improve general performance. I know I’ll be switching to Chrome as soon as they port it to Mac.

Why is Prism better than Chrome’s implementation? By the time Firefox 3.6 comes out, the Prism’s presupposed advantages will have been eroded by Chrome’s rapid release cycle.

Firefox is edging dangerously close to Microsoft’s software release cycle.

[...] Monday, April 6, 2009 · No Comments With the news of the upcoming Firefox 3.6, comes hope that Firefox 3.5 is nearing completion. As of press, Firefox 3.5 is scheduled for a Beta 4 release on April 14th which means we could see the final release may be as early as June (which would only be six months later than the original projected release date for then Firefox 3.1). Firefox 3.6 is code named Namoroka after the national park located in Madagascar. The main themes/goals for this build are desktop web apps and snappiness, but is likely to include many other features and improvements. See Namoroka feature plan drafts for more details. Some of the new features planned for this release are (from Mozilla Links): [...]

“Mozilla is estimating a 10 months release cycle, so we can expect to see Namoroka go final around May 2010.”

Which if the development cycle is anything like Firefox 3.1, means November/December 2010.
