Firefox 4 RC expected to ship roughly on March 9


There’s light at the end of the tunnel.
Mozilla is planning to spin the first release candidate for Firefox 4 this Friday and the code is aimed to be released to beta testers as early as next Wednesday, March 9, developers said during a call today.
It’s a major milestone. The first of 12 beta test versions of Firefox 4 was made available last June.
Of course, the RC could be available earlier if Quality Assurance signs off faster than expected. Beta 12, for instance, was made available last Friday, a few days before the expected date.
It is the first release candidate and a number of bugs have yet to be worked out but the team expects to ship the final Firefox 4 this month.
A number of printing issues were reported following the release of beta 12 late last week but those problems have been largely fixed, one developer said during a meeting today.

Thats with 3 add-ons running, forgot that I had them installed actually, will check usage without them later as I'm on another computer ATM

Also looks like they've blocked DL of the candidate RC1 builds for now.

Here is Firefox 4 RC1 usage without Add-ons & using 1 Single Tab.

Roughly jumping around 40-60MB on my computer

Looks like they've reduced the overall memory usage by 200MB+, very nice
