Just a few short days after delivering the first Release Candidate build of Firefox 4, Mozilla's Senior Director of Engineering Damon Sicore has confirmed that the final build of the browser will be ready to launch before the month is out.

Firefox 4's public release has now been pencilled in for a March 22nd launch, a little later than first hoped. The fourth iteration of Mozilla's gecko-powered browser was originally meant to be a 2010 release, and then following further delays a February 2011 launch was hoped.

Posting in a Mozilla Development discussion on Google Groups, Damon Sicore commented on the positive reception that met the first release candidatet, adding that now was the "time to make a decision to ship".

Sicore went on to add that both Mozilla's "IT and Marketing (departments) have indicated that March 22nd is an acceptable final launch date."
