Firefox 3 On-track for June Release
Mozilla announced that Beta 5 will be the last beta for Firefox 3, the next release will be Release Candidate 1 (RC1) which should be out in early May. Mike Schroepfer, Mozilla’s vice president of engineering also noted that they are currently on-track for a June release of Firefox 3.0 Final.
Firefox holds a 17.83% market share according to Net Applications latest report, with Internet Explorer taking 74.80%, and Apple’s Safari trailing with just 5.82%. Both Firefox and Safari have seen significant gains in market share over the past 6 months, while Internet Explorer has seen a nearly 4% decrease in market share since October 2007.
When Firefox 3.0 hits final, I believe it will have a very postitive effect on Firefox’s market share.
