Firefox 6? Really?!?

[dwell]

What's the point of version numbers anymore?

In other news, Chrome 14? Really?!?

Im still waiting on stuff like my Garmin Communicator plugin to be updated to work with FF5.

Lol, Firefox 7 is also scheduled to be released this year. 3 years to go from Firefox 3 to Firefox 4. Less than 9 months to go from Firefox 4 to Firefox 7.

Would you prefer the latest version of netscape?

I'm on it right now, seriously.

They should quit dinking around and set their version number to 23.

if it would auto update and not break plugins i dont think anyone would care. i switched to chrome months ago and havent had to replace plugins or lose functionality with the updates.

 

[Gibson486]

wow...I finally updated to ff5 3 weeks ago...

I'm still on FF 3.

Chrome is better than Firefox and IE, know why?

12 > 9 > 4

Just like Mac OS is better than Windows

10 > 7

I'm still on FF 3.

Hah I didn't even realize it, but so am I. 3.6.18 to be precise. I wouldn't mind upgrading, I just don't want all of my plugins to be borked.

Can't argue with this.

Firefox got jealous of Chrome's rapid release cycle. End of story.

They should assign a new full version number to each nightly build. They'll be in the hundreds in no time.

 

[blinblue]

One has to wonder what they'll do when they start getting into the 20's. Firefox version 28 doesn't sound as cool anymore. Even worse the higher you go... Firefox version 73...

 

[Leros]

IE6 is still better. I guess I'll have to switch to Firefox soon.

nope

 

[Jeff7]

They might as well go all out. Firefox 9000!

 

[Engineer]

I'm on it right now, seriously.

One of my PC's upgraded also. Must be set to accept BETA copies.

If Firefox would automatically update in the background like Chrome does, nobody would give a damn what the version number is and just use their browser for the simple task it was meant to be used for.

Actually, if it updated then all the extensions didn't break... that would make it not matter, but the extensions break.
