Mike Beltzner, the Director of Firefox at Mozilla, has announced to leave Mozilla after the release of Firefox 4.0 later this month. Mike announced this on his blog, "I’m not leaving in the next couple of days or anything. I am in it to win it on Firefox 4, and plan on staying until that milestone is complete, as well as helping with a smooth transition to ensure that Firefox 5 is a success from the get-go.".

Mike joined Mozilla almost six years ago.
