Firefox Announces "Code Feeze" for FF 3 Beta 4

For the second time in the past four weeks, Mozilla has announced a "code freeze" for a beta version of Firefox 3.0 - this time, Beta 4 - as it prepares another public release of the open-source browser.

The freeze was announced late Tuesday. Earlier in the day, the company's chief engineer hinted that the number of outstanding bugs at that point - 66 that could block the release of Firefox 3.0 - meant a fifth beta will likely be needed.

At least they're fixing their code before it's released rather than going the M$ route. I'd rather have it this way than the alternative.

Until the beta versions are done with I won't be changing from the ff2. I heard that FF3 uses less resources too. I hope this comes out to be true.

So far from running it since Beta 4 came out i would say yes. My resources while using Firefox have not hit above 68KB which is a lot less than the 100+KB it used to use.
