Promises to ship fixes to users in minutes.

With Microsoft finishing Windows 10 later this week and releasing it globally at the end of this month, it looks like Mozilla is too working hard on a Windows 10 specific version of Firefox, which (according to them) is coming out soon.

What is more interesting however is the fact that the company has decided to abandon its “18-week development” plan and instead, focus on shortening the time it takes for new Firefox features to reach the users. On a message board, Mozilla’s Dave Camp has stated that “today [code deployment] isn’t done on an 18-week cycle. We think there are big wins to be had in shortening the time that new features reaches users. Critical fixes should ship to users in minutes, not days.”



In addition to that, it was revealed that Mozilla will also be moving away from its XUL (XML User Interface Languag) and XBL (XML Bindings Language), which is their own, XML based language for building user interface and various applications (such as Firefox). However, the discussions are still in very early stages and there are no additional details that are known, at least for now.
