Firefox 4 will be the last major browser release from Mozilla (http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/365602/mozilla-firefox-4-will-be-our-last-big-release), as it looks to mimic Chrome's speedy release schedule — echoing previous statements that Firefox 7 would arrive this year (http://news.slashdot.org/story/11/02/07/1955241/Mozilla-Aims-To-Release-Four-Firefox-Versions-In-2011). "What we want to do is get the power into users' hands more quickly," said vice president of products Jay Sullivan. "For example, the video tag was shippable in June — we should have shipped it." That new schedule is also why Firefox 4 has had 12 betas, he said. Mozilla also said future versions of Firefox would feature a stronger "do not follow tool" (http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/365590/mozilla-do-not-follow-systems-need-to-be-tougher), as the current one is a "non-technical solution"," Sullivan said. "All you're doing is raising your hand and saying 'I don't want to be tracked.' There's no technical teeth.""http://news.slashdot.org/story/11/02/28/1656258/Firefox-4-the-Last-Big-Release-From-Mozilla
