The plan was for Firefox 4 Beta 8 to be released at the end of November. Here we are the 3rd of December and no Beta 8. The latest release post from Mozilla shows Beta 8 as ‘December’ with Beta 9 and 10 along with RC1 as ‘TBD’. However, it appears the next updates for Firefox 3.6 and 3.5 (which Mozilla still says updates would be provided through August 2010) are still on schedule for December 9th. Also looks like there is going to be a Thunderbird update coming out on December 9th as well.
Mozilla’s tradition is code naming Firefox major releases after national parks from around the world, and, since recently, Thunderbird major releases after beaches. The latter we have seen with the first development release of Thunderbird 3.3 code named Miramar. For whatever reason there has not been much use of the code name for Firefox 4, especially given we are nearing the release of Beta 8. Percy at Mozilla Links did a little digging and found the code name for Firefox 4 is Tumucumaque, borrowed from the Tumucumaque Mountain National Park in Northwest Brazil.
