It largely depends on how well the rebase goes. The safe estimate is mid
to late August. If things go really well, we may be ready for an alpha
sooner. Conceivably, we could even release a FF38-based TBB before the
August 11th EOL, in which case we may be ready for an alpha series even
earlier, but so far we've never moved that quickly.
