Schedule & Progress on Upcoming Releases
Firefox 4 (Desktop)
- RC1 will be published to the beta audience as soon as QA signs off on it (today or tomorrow, most likely)

- QA has requested more time for thorough testing, so expect at least 1-2 more weeks before final ship
- please note that as of tomorrow desktop nightly builds will no longer be identical to RC1 and in fact will contain code that is not planned on being part of Firefox 4 for Windows, Mac or Linux (see below)
Firefox 4 (Mobile)
- changes required by the final set of blocking issues have been landing on mozilla-central
- desktop nightly builds will be unfrozen and updates will resume to get early feedback on these changes
