Firefox Product Release Roadmap
The Firefox product release roadmap aims to enable innovative web experiences for consumers, accelerate the time-to-market for user-facing innovation, and improve the security and stability of our products.
The roadmap provides for:
- Platform releases every 12 to 15 months and product releases every 6 to 9 months with product releases between platform releases limited to new features and enhancements with minimal back-end impact, e.g. API additions to the platform but no incompatible changes.
- Adoption of a consumer focused support lifecycle where only the current plus the last major release at any given time would be supported with security and stability updates for up to six months following general availability of the current release. We’ll work with downstream enterprise-oriented distributors and support vendors to provide a program to enable extended support for otherwise legacy releases.
- Scheduling security and stability updates every 6 to 8 weeks to provide a vehicle to address security and stability issues with critical security vulnerabilities addressed “out of band�? unencumbered by other patches.
