SOFTWARE DEVELOPER Mozilla has announced an Enterprise User Working Group to calm worries about its quick release schedule for its products.
Discussion, fears and problems have arisen over Mozilla's rapid releases of its Firefox web browser. The firm aims to answer questions and aid users with its Enterprise User Working Group.

Mozilla is justifying its regular release cycle with the fact that life online is evolving fast, meaning that it's critical for the firm to deliver improvements faster to cope with the changes.
