It's looking increasingly unlikely that Mozilla will ship Firefox 4 this month.

On Thursday, Christian Legnitto, who oversees Firefox releases, said that Beta 12 would probably not ship for several days.

"The bugs blocking beta 12 are expected to be fixed in the next day or so," Legnitto said yesterday in a message to a Firefox development mailing list. "At that point, we will freeze nightlies and then create the beta build when we are confident of quality."

As of Friday, five bugs remain on what Mozilla calls its "hard" blocker list -- those bugs that must be fixed before it deems Beta 12 good to go.
