B2G/Roadmap

This is an overview of the current Firefox OS engineering roadmap. Information on this page is subject to frequent updates and changes.

Feature Complete (FC) dates

FC means Feature Complete. At this date driving is handed over to the chipset vendor to stabilize the release for productization.

• FFOS 1.2 FC date: September 15
• FFOS 1.3 FC date: December 9

The current planning is to continue with FFOS releases every 12 weeks, aligned with the Firefox/Gecko release trains.

Disclaimer: FC dates are subject to change, based on changes in the productization timelines.
