Mozilla Unveils ‘Aggressive’ Firefox OS Schedule: Quarterly Feature Releases, Security Updates Every Six Weeks

With Firefox OS version 1.0 out the door, Mozilla has decided that it’s time to unveil its strategy for new versions. The company is planning to make feature releases available to partners every quarter and push out security updates for the previous two feature releases every six weeks.

“As far as I know, that’s the most aggressive mobile OS release strategy out there,” Alex Keybl, Mozilla’s Manager of Release Management, said in a statement. “This sort of alignment across multiple browser products, and now an OS, is unprecedented at the pace we’re moving.”

That being said, nothing is set in stone. Keybl admits his plan “may still require some tweaking.”
