Mozilla have announced that Firefox 4.0 is in the making. The new web browser will be available in 2010. Prior to the release, version 3.6 will 
come in Q4 of 2009, with a faster Javascript engine and quicker loading time (rejoice!). There’s not much insight into what Firefox 4.0 will include, but, judging by early mockup screenshots from Mozilla’s website the team favours the Chrome style user interface.
Firefox 3.6 is also set to debut Mozilla’s first mobile browser, which will utilize the Tracemonkey Javascript engine.
The old days of a File/Edit/View menu seem outdated anyway, with much more fluid and snazzy systems being developed. Window elements appear to “float” over web pages.
Firefox 4.0 is a major step in the future of the brand. Recent new browsers such as Google Chrome have really damaged Firefox’s userbase, especially since Google were Firefox’s main distributors and supporters.
