It&rsquo;s about time! And while everyone has its idea on the number of Beta versions needed and how often a major version must be released - some find it reassuring that Firefox has had so many ones when others find it annoying and wish for a shorter release cycle - Mozilla said that Firefox 5 should be <a href="http://www.conceivablytech.com/6315/products/firefox-5-due-in-week-of-june-29" class="link-external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">available in June 2011<span class="external-link-icon" aria-hidden="true">&#160;<span class="bi bi-arrow-up-right"></span></span></a> after only 16 weeks of development. And we have been reminded why Mozilla has shortened its release cycle: <a href="http://fredericiana.com/2011/03/22/the-return-of-from-redmond-with-love/" title="IE Team sends cake on Firefox releases" class="link-external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">they want more cakes from the Microsoft Internet Explorer team<span class="external-link-icon" aria-hidden="true">&#160;<span class="bi bi-arrow-up-right"></span></span></a>!</p>
