Firefox 1.1 to be delayed

Googer is too busy these days

THE LEAD developer on Firefox, Ben Goodger, has told fans that the next version of Firefox is going to be a bit late.

Version 1.1 was set for a March release, however on Goodger's blog, here, he says this is a bit unrealistic.

There is apparently too much needs to be done and he has just started a new job working for Google.

One of the major fixes expected in Firefox 1.1 was repairing the bug that causes the browser not to retain the scroll position when going back and forward through Web pages.

Some websites also don't display text properly either. Goodger said that an updated roadmap graphic, which will offer more details, is being planned. It is likely that there will be a 1.1 Developer Preview, followed by a 1.1 Preview, and a 1.1. “We're not fixed on dates yet, but this is just a heads up,” he said. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
