You'll have to wait until next year before getting a chance to play with Firefox 4 in Release Candidate (RC) form. An updated release schedule shows the RC version being pushed back until early 2011.
"Development on Firefox 4 has not slowed down, and strong progress is being made daily. However, based on the delays in completing the 'feature complete' Beta 7 milestone against which our add-on developers and third-party software developers can develop, as well as considering the amount of work remaining to prepare Firefox 4 for final release, we have revised our beta and release candidate schedule," Mike Beltzner, VP of engineering for Firefox, wrote in an mailing list message earlier this week.
There have already been six beta version of Firefox 4 released in the wild, but after more than a month and a half of development, Firefox 4 beta 7 has yet to materialize. The problem, says ZDNet, has to do with issues integrating Firefox's older TraceMonkey engine, as well as trying to mesh the new JaegerMonkey engine.
