Mozilla has confirmed that the next major re-haul of the Firefox browser, version 4.0, will likely be delayed into early 2011. The browser was originally slated for a Q3 2010 release.
Anticipated 3.6 and 3.7 updates will include security and stability enhancements, including separate processes for each tab, but will not include too many drastic changes. Firefox 4 on the other hand, will be given "Windows 7 look and feel," says TGDaily.
Analysts say the delay is good news for Microsoft whose Internet Explorer 8 has been stealing back some market share since the release of Windows 7. By most estimates, IE still controls about 65 percent of the entire browser market with FF in second at around 23 percent.
