firefox 3.6 in 10.04?

[note32]

does anyone know if 10.04 will ship with firefox 3.6?

If it is stable during development... then probably... Cause 10.04 will be a LTS if not mistaken so it will need stable technologies since it will be there for quite some time. Not 100% atm tho.

Way too early to tell.

I just switched to firefox 3.6 today and it works for me. It is not called firefox but "Namoroka".

That's the codename. Firefox 3.5's codename was Shiretoko.

It's just not branded as Firefox. It's the exact same thing, the official release will say "Firefox".

Not too early - 10.0x would probably be in its planning stage :P

Been using Firefox 3.6 (and also testing 3.7) for some time, now. It feels faster than 3.5, so I've been sticking with it.

I've seen benchmarks somewhere that validated your perceptions. Basically, the results of the benchmarks was 3.6 > 3.5 > 3.0. Personally, I used 3.6 on 9.04 and found it to use less RAM than 3.5 did under that same set up.

This kind of stuff is hard to plan ;)

They may set out with the intention to include it, only to see it delayed due to a serious bug or something.

I would say that its very likely considering that 10.04 is going to be an LTS. If everyone remembers, when 8.04 launched, Firefox 3.0 beta was the default browser. The reason they included a beta release browser was because 8.04 was LTS and it needed a browser that was going to be there through the entire life cycle. Based on that, I would be surprised if 3.6 is not the default browser even if it isn't in final release at the time of 10.04's release.
