Glad that Mozilla is following the steps of Chrome.

Few months back, i wrote a post on the Google Chrome's software release cycles. I praised the short release cycles(6 weeks) followed by Chrome team to iteratively/quickly release new features to end users. I also felt that, it was surprising Microsoft and Mozilla doesn't seem to learn from it for their IE and Firefox teams.

Now, Mozilla has announced a new engineering process for Firefox releases on the similar lines of Chrome. They have a new variant of build called 'Aurora' which is aimed at shortening their release cycles. Read this techcrunch post to know the details.
