Firefox 5 Scheduled For June 21 Release 266

Posted by CmdrTaco on Thursday April 07, 2011 @01:04PM from the don't-rest-on-them-laurels dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Mozilla has updated its Firefox 5 release schedule and is apparently upbeat that it can release the browser even earlier than previously anticipated. The release was pulled in by a week to June 21. Mozilla is now also using a Chrome-like versioning system for Firefox — where the final Firefox 5 may be called Firefox 5.6.44.144, for example."

What actual features and improvements could they possibly have added in "8 WEEKS" since the release that they have had time to actually put through an Alpha test, Beta test, and then full release that would warrant a VERSION 5!?!

This seems crazy lame to me. The browser has slowly gotten bloated, now the number? Why?

This [www.ntg.nl] is a versioning system I can understand.
