Mozilla Shifts Firefox to 2-Week Releases From Sept. 1 With Version 155

3 articles · Updated · Ghacks · Jul 14

Summary

  • Firefox 155 will launch on Sept. 1 as Mozilla starts a two-week stable release cycle for desktop and Android, replacing the current monthly cadence after Firefox 154 ships on Aug. 18.
  • Mozilla says the faster schedule should deliver updates more often and make rollouts more predictable, while keeping feature development timelines unchanged and holding back unfinished work.
  • The company is treating the shift as an experiment and may adjust if quality, workload or user-experience problems emerge during the transition.
  • Extension developers may need tighter testing around more frequent API and behavior changes, while enterprises can stay on Firefox ESR for a slower, stability-focused update track.
  • The move brings Firefox in line with Chrome and Edge's two-week cadence, though early user reaction has been mixed over reliability risks and Mozilla's resources.
