Mozilla engineers and contributors to the open source browser had been scrambling to get it ready for a November release. However, despite "strong progress" in development, delays in completing the feature-complete beta 7 version of Firefox, along with the amount of work remaining to prepare the software for release, made it impossible to meet the release date, Mozilla announced Wednesday.
"Completing this work is taking longer than initial estimates indicated as we track down regressions and sources of instability," Mike Beltzner, product manager for Firefox, said in a blog post on Mozilla's developer site. "As part of our commitment to beta users, we will not ship software before it is ready."
Beltzner said Mozilla would continue to release "beta milestones" through the end of December, with a release candidate shipping in early 2011 and the final release close behind.
However, Beltzner said even the latest timetable could change. "Please note that, as always, this schedule is subject to change based on feedback from users and community members."
