This is draft milestone schedule for [[Firefox3/Gecko_Feature_List|Gecko 1.9]] and the [[Firefox3|Gran Paradiso]] release. We are currently in early-planning stages for Firefox 3, so these dates should not be considered fixed, but rather as a reflection of our current estimates (i.e., these are *draft* dates).


* [[Firefox3/Schedule/L10n|Proposal]] for L10N cut-off dates
These are the currently released milestones.
