FF6 is in beta, should be out by the end of summer (or early autumn), FF7 is in alpha and should be released before end-of-year.

I guess FF8 (which just arrived on the nightly channel) will be up for release in late 2011-early 2012.

See this calendar for specific dates when new Firefox updates will be pushed to the Nightly, Aurora, Beta, and Release channels: https://wiki.mozilla.org/RapidRelease/Calendar

(This should be very familiar to anyone who has seen Chrome's update schedule, which has three versions in flight at once, staggered by the same six-week intervals.)

They are employing 6 weeks for each version number, like Chrome, so they'll be out much sooner.
