Mozilla Firefox 5 releasing on June 21
Just days after releasing Mozilla Firefox 4, Mozilla is now gearing up to launch the next version of Firefox on June 21.
Given the fast-paced development cycle, you could expect Firefox 6 just two months after Firefox 5.
The new development cycle is quite a departure from Mozilla's earlier development cycle that saw over a year between any two releases.
For example, Firefox 4 was released after a year of development. Firefox 3.6 also took close to a year before being available for public download.
"Chrome's development model has been a successful experiment in terms of getting production releases with improvements and new features out quickly and much faster than in the past. I think this is causing waves in the industry, most specifically for direct competitors."--Al Hilwa, an IDC analyst
Change done to mimic Chrome's cycle
The change in strategy has been done to make Firefox's development cycle similar to Chrome's.
Google's Chrome has really taken the world of internet browsers by storm. The minimalistic look of Chrome was so admired and liked by users that other browsers had to quickly follow suit and take on a Chrome new look which is simple, uncluttered and minimalistic.
Chrome follows a truly fast-paced development cycle in which it launches a new version of the browser in every six to eight weeks.
But unlike Firefox, Chrome has not gone through any significant changes in its looks ever since its first release. Most of the changes have been to improve overall speed of the browser and to add new features.
Automatic updating with Firefox 5
Like Chrome, Firefox will introduce new features and technical improvements as it moves from one beta to the next.
Mozilla said that it will introduce automatic updating of the browser, starting from version 5.
Currently, Google Chrome is the only browser that updates itself in the background without informing the user.
With Firefox 5, the browser will update automatically to the new version.
Al Hilwa, an IDC analyst, applauded the new move by Mozilla to switch to a faster development cycle.
"Chrome's development model has been a successful experiment in terms of getting production releases with improvements and new features out quickly and much faster than in the past. I think this is causing waves in the industry, most specifically for direct competitors," he said.
The news should delight Firefox fans around the globe who have been yearning for a speedier release cycle of Mozilla's browser.
