Mozilla plans to shift Firefox to a two-week release cycle starting in September 2026, according to Mozilla Director Sylvestre Ledru. The company describes this faster update schedule as an experiment and emphasizes that it may alter course if unexpected issues arise.

Firefox 154, set for release on August 18, will be the last version issued on the current monthly schedule. Instead of two weeks later, Firefox 155 is scheduled to arrive on September 1.

The Firefox Release Calendar has been updated to reflect the new schedule. This change affects Firefox users on both desktop and Android platforms.
