Mozilla has set an aggressive schedule for the next version of Firefox, slating the release of Firefox 5 for 21 June 21.
Mozilla has some big plans for future versions of Firefox, including Internet Explorer 9-style dynamic jump lists, new sharing capabilities, identity management, and the end of the home button.
