Mozilla has announced a new release cycle for Firefox browser, with the company reducing the time for new versions from 6 weeks to just 4 weeks.

This means a new major update for Firefox should land every month, and Mozilla says it aims to implement the shorter release cycle in the first quarter of 2020.

As far as Firefox ESR (Extended Support Release for the enterprise) is concerned, no changes will happen here, the organization explains, so new major releases will continue to land every 12 months. This means the next major ESR version is projected to go live in June 2020 followed by another one in June 2021.

“Shorter release cycles provide greater flexibility to support product planning and priority changes due to business or market requirements. 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,” Ritu Kothari, Firefox release management team, and Yan Or, Product Integrity team for Firefox, explain.
