Firefox.next: going faster

ﬁrefox.next vision/rationale/plan

5 years of Firefox (look at those download numbers!)

this is my point: the best way to support the mozilla mission is to deliver new, open web technology as quickly as possible

why we ship it demonstrates our technology it improves user experiences it provides an open option it makes the web better

speed firefox 1.5 ...12 months firefox 2.0 ...11 months firefox 3.0 ...21 months firefox 3.5 ...12 months ... ie7 was 60 months ... ie8 was 17 months ... chrome3 was 4 months

going faster will let us show more will let us do more will let us iterate more openly means smaller projects means frequent releases means doing 2 things at once image courtesy of stock.xchng

who is it that we need to outrun? image courtesy of stock.xchng

these guys

new competition competition was once about proprietary browser features competition is now about control over technology “open source” vs “open like the web”

this is the threat: the collaborative, collective development model that built the web may be replaced
