We will notify the mozilla.dev.planning newsgroup as necessary of our progress during the day, and keep Tinderbox up to date with the tree status; this is our planned schedule (all times PDT):

• 1000 – Close all trees on Tinderbox
• 1015 – Release Engineering confirms systems are ready to go offline
• 1015 – Phase I: upgrade firewall, and wired switches at Mountain View

At this point all the infrastructure in the Mountain View office (performance and unit test infrastructure, as well as some builders) will lose their connection to the machines that report their progress. The trees will appear to be broken if people look on Tinderbox.

• 1230 – Phase I Complete
• 1230 – Release Engineering will prepare systems to come back online
• 1230 – Phase II: upgrade office wireless infrastructure

Infrastructure connectivity is expected to be restored within 1.5 hours, and the Release Engineering group will be on hand to bring the systems back up. They will wait for a full “green run” before re-opening the trees. This normally takes 2-3 hours.

• 1400 – Phase II Complete
• 1400 – Release Engineering will begin to bring remaining systems online
• 1700 – Release Engineering will re-open all trees

• if you’re working on beta blockers, nothing has changed except that “beta6+” will now be “beta7+” in your queries and bugs,
• we will ship a small, incremental update to beta 5 this week,
• beta 7 will be produced according to the previous beta 6 schedule,
• beta 7 will be considered the feature freeze milestone.

And now, the longer version with links!

We’ve decided to issue a small beta update in order to fix a stability issue on Windows and some rendering and keyboard/mouse focus issues on OSX related to plugins. This small update should be ready late tomorrow, and will be presented as “Firefox 4 Beta 6“.

This should have no effect on the schedule of the feature freeze milestone, other than to have its name change to “Firefox 4 Beta 7.” A bug to change all the blocking flags from “blocking2.0:beta6+” to “blocking2.0:beta7+”  has been filed, and the release description pages on the wiki have been updated accordingly.
