Hi,
with 11.4 deadline arriving fast (rc1 checkin date is february 4th) I want to give a small notice about the status of Firefox (and other mozilla apps).
Here is the latest short term schedule from Mozilla for Firefox 4: http://christian.legnitto.com/blog/2011/01/25/updated-firefox-4-beta-plan/
That means that we would end up having Firefox 4 beta 11 for the GA version of 11.4. This is probably the last beta before they are starting to do RCs.
I want to raise the question if we would like to do that or reverting back to Firefox 3.6.13? My favourite would be the former but it basically has disadvantages: - not all addons will be compatible by then - people who cannot do updates for whatever reason will stay with beta
And just another sidenote. The next scheduled security releases for Firefox, Thunderbird and seamonkey is probably february 8th which means the first updates for them are needed as online updates apparently before GA :-(

I see no reason at all to ship an old and soon to be obsoleted browser with 11.4. Moreover, I have been testing Wolfgang's packages for months and they are very stable, fast and all the major plugins like flash seem to work well. Based on my experience, updating from b11 > 4.0 final should be easy and painless. Yes, the UI has some differences, but it seems efficient once you are familiar. I've yet to see any real display regressions with a wide range of websites, both English and with other languages.
