12 betas of Firefox 4 will be enough thinks Mozilla

Another beta of Firefox 4 is coming again before Mozilla will at last launch its Release Candidate.

"There are currently fewer than 20 'hard' blocking issues which have been identified as requiring beta coverage [1] and only 7 without patches," noted the open source outfit's Mike Beltzner late on Friday.

"At this point in time I do not believe we will require an additional beta, and am recommending that we continue to push hard to close these blockers out over the next few days."

In January Mozilla said about the possibility of up to 13 betas of Firefox 4 before reaching the all-important RC stage.

However, now Mozilla is sure that 12 versions will be enough to get rid of all remaining known bugs in Firefox 4.

Last week, Mozilla released the 11th beta of Firefox 4, to which it added the "Do Not Track" http header to the build.
