That sounds interesting. Lot of builds to release in 1 year though, i ain't so sure they'll actually do that. Other than that, the plans looks really good, looking forward to the 'next gen' Mozilla Browser :)

I'm looking forward to it
I'm using the BETA 11 version of FF 4. It's very fast compared to others such as Opera, IE, and FF 3.6
