Firefox is not part of GNOME release. Firefox has its own released
cycles. GNOME's browser is called epiphany. Though almost all GNOME
based distro shipped Firefox as the primary browser for obvious reason.
As I am well aware. That doesn't change my opinion that releases should
be timed so as to coincide with Gnome releases and NOT ship with beta
versions of Firefox, or anything else for that matter.
You can't have it both ways; either you want a strictly time-based
schedule, or you want a build quality-based schedule. Specifically, I'm
referring to the fact that you don't like the release schedule slippage,
but you also want releases tied to GNOME cycles.
However, as you are aware, GNOME release schedules slip too sometimes :)
Even then, you have to account for the fact that the distribution itself
needs its own additional time to evaluate and QA its own packages in
addition to its build of GNOME.
