Firefox 3.7 changed to 4.0

Mozilla has dropped the schedule of Firefox 3.7 and will release Firefox 4.0 instead of firefox 3.7 after Firefox 3.6. So Firefox 4.0 will come most probably at the end of this year or early 2011. Firefox 3.6, codenamed Namoroka. Development for this version started on December 1, 2008 and it is planned for release in early 2010. This release will use the new Gecko 1.9.2 rendering engine.Firefox 4.0 has been tentatively scheduled to use the Gecko 1.9.4 rendering engine and will offer a new user interface and multi-touch gesture support.

According to Mike Beltzner, director of Firefox.

Rather than add features to Firefox only in once- or twice-a-year upgrades, Mozilla will quietly insert some functionality via its regular security updates, which appear every four to six weeks. That means Firefox 3.7, which was slated for a second quarter release, has been dropped from the development schedule. We learned an awful lot about what slows down our schedule, and that will help us plan future releases.
