Firefox 3.0 planned for the second half of 2007

Firefox 2.0 is still relatively new, but Mozilla is keen to continue its rapid growth in the internet browsing industry with the next version of its popular browser set for Q3/Q4 of 2007. Considering consumers are used to having the same browser for a number of years, with Internet Explorer 6 being around for 5 years, this could be a surprise to many just three months after 2.0 was launched. Mozilla claims that although Firefox 3.0 will contain as many as 50 new features along with security and bug fixes, the next browser will be more of an update for Firefox 2.0, with version 4.0 (set for a 2008 release) intended to be the true next generation of Firefox.
