Just a week after Mozilla Corp. shipped Firefox 3.0, the open-source developer has proposed ship dates for the next version that, if approved, would produce an alpha release next month and a final no later than early 2009.

According to a draft schedule discussed at a Tuesday meeting, Mozilla wants to have the first Firefox 3.1 developer preview, or alpha, ready by July, then move to a beta by August. The schedule slates final code delivery in the last quarter of this year or the first quarter of 2009. A month ago, when Mozilla first started discussing Firefox 3.1 internally, Mike Schroepfer, the company's vice president of engineering, said the upgrade's target ship date was the end of 2008.

If Mozilla holds to that plan, Firefox 3.1 would be its first fast-track update, with a development timeline significantly shorter than usual. Firefox 3.0, for instance, launched approximately 20 months after its predecessor, Firefox 2.0.

Just got an update for Firefox this afternoon. Let it do its thing and then eventually closed the program so it could update.

Now I can't get my ISP email to work.

Anyone else have any issues with this last one?

I never let FF do an update, especially since they just launched 3.0.

Does your ISP email read through FF browser or through an outlook/express reader?

Works well on this end.

Outlook express. And this morning it came into the outlook express program.

NOW it doesn't want to load pages. I got an email that I had a reply to this thread. It had a link to click. I clicked that link 4 times and every time it couldn't find the server.

I finally went to my book mark and clicked it to get here.

And I've cleaned and dumped and rebooted. I even turned the machine completely off and waited a bit before turning it back on again.
