You were previously stating Firefox was not a major version update. define "major version updates". lfm wrote: Windows does not come with a major version update every month.
And neither of the other software mentione either. again, you need to define that term. actually windows updates happen frequently and most of them are major security updates. what windows doesn't get every month is new features - which firefox does. in fact between vista and 7 try to identify the new features which aren't merely slight adjustments of existing ones. lfm wrote: It's years in between!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sure, and you also pay hundreds of dollars to these companies. for what? apparently not new features. lfm wrote: I really don't get your reasoning over this. Good luck confusing everybody - every month - with major version updates on Firefox.  do i even need to reply to this? |

Well, it's no different to firefox. It's just built using SSE3 optimisation and with some of the useless components (like developer features) removed. Otherwise it's straight firefox code. If anything it's more likely to be secure than firefox, as the more features you have, the more loopholes people can find to exploit... |

So, we've gone 11 "version" updates in about 16 months.
I'm pretty sure it's been discussed to death but what have we gained from this? |

They keep breaking it.
A new version sounds better than a patch. |

I'd recommend using Pale Moon browser. It's a modified version of Firefox.. without the memory leaks and other nonsense. ---- "Use the talents you possess, for the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except the best." - Henry Van Dyke |

thanks for that info, might try it. For me it's the same ol'. Mostly, FF just works. As into all the music toys as I am, I couldn't care less about anything web wise other than it getting me point a to b... which FF does much better than IE for example. Hated chrome, hate IE. |
