the firefox dev cycle is slow as it is, people are constantly complaining about things that firefox doesn't have or that firefox is lacking such and such a thing that chrome or opera or whatever invented. Now that firefox is being released faster, people are complaining arbitrarily about the speed of that too. When…

yea i wish lifehacker would just make an article about it, so people might stop complaining about it every time an update comes out.

there's an open bug about it, so it will happen, its just that the ff dev somestimes put more emphasis on bugs that...i don't even know sometimes. They're slow with a lot of things, and it saddens me, but on this i dont really think its that much of a big deal.

the exact reason i've been watching her videos for the past year

aren't they doing that?

if by that you mean addons being called uptodate by default, then yes

if anyone is running the nightlies of firefox, then you could be getting a "reset your profile" feature soonish. AFAIk its supposed to do all the cleaning of the profile tat making a new one would do, but keep all your extensions and history and such.

every single one of those was so obvious that it made the article kind of useless to me (though i guess its more because of the response you got in the first article). I was hoping for more obscure softwares that might actually require some searching to find a good alternative

just download the australis to make firefox look like its new mockups are supposed to look. I use it and find it quite visually appealing and imo doesnt look like chrome.

im not sure how. My point was legacy support is fine when you actually have old versions, but the point of the new versioning is to get rid of versions, so that they dont need to support it because the support would just be updating the browser.

i didnt know that was a rule. That's how i play but i didnt know it was a real rule.

what does it matter? i would rather have firefox tell me that its updating tbh, but the frequency and the version number only serve to make me happy that my browser is getting better.

there isnt legacy because you're supposed to autoupdate basically. whats the point in not updating? I can see legacy report when the releases are a year apart...so you're supporting people while everything is all...not being updated, but with a fast realease cycle, there is no point.

i dont know why everyone is always to up in arms about the firefox numbering system. I think that they need to come out and say to everyone: this is why its good, this is why its great, here's a potential problem with it and this is why that problem is n/a so that everyone can just drop it. You dont get posts in every…

Did anyone else grin when they saw that the picture of the game was Settlers?

firefox definately. looking at the memshrink progress weekly, its been clear that firefox is getting much more on the ball about its memory, which is really the only thing that most people complain about. my only real gripe is that the ui can lag when tabs lag, which is also being worked on (though the people that…

the only thing i can see the looks chrome like is the in-focus tab. did anyone actually look at the mockups?

and an addon author making an addon means that mozilla is monkeying it?

Vote: kindle.

even so, its a different target audience and thus wont fail or win in the same way chromeos will
