Firefox is moving from 6-8 weeks release cycle to 4 week release cycle


Firefox typically release its browser every 6-8 weeks to optimize the stability. But now Firefox is going to change its strategy by changing its release cycle from 6 weeks to 4 weeks for providing agile and faster performance.

Announcements

Mozilla says "With four-week cycles, we can be more agile and ship features faster, while applying the same rigor and due diligence needed for a high-quality and stable release. Also, we put new features and implementation of new Web APIs into the hands of developers more quickly,"

According to Mozilla in recent quarters they had received many requests from users to take new features to market sooner i.e., users requesting from Mozilla team to reduce its release cycle.

Mozilla will starts its 4 week release cycle from 2020.
