Firefox 3 RC1 will be released in early May
According to the Mozilla Foundation and its Vice President of Engineering Mike Schroepfer, Firefox 3 will be shipped in early May. 700.000 users have tested the public Beta Version so far and expect Firefox 3 to be the fastest and most secure browser available. The next public release of Beta 5 will be out the first week of April.
In May, most of the larger extension developers will re-work their code to be fully compatible with Firefox 3. One month after that the users will be able to look forward to the final stable release of Firefox 3.
The fourth public Beta version of Firefox 3 can be downloaded on Mozillas official website.
