I dread new browsers because I'm developing a site at the moment and not much has changed since the browser war days really. They all still have their quirks. Just installed the Firefox Mobile browser on my Android phone and found it does a couple of odd things which the iPhone, HTC, Blackberry and even Windows 7 Mobile browsers don't do. More issues to fix then. Is anyone really likely to start using Firefox Mobile? The native browsers on most the Androids are very good. Firefox seem to have included Add-ons on Mobile though, so I guess that could be an attraction for some people. Geeks anyway.
I noticed some extensions that are already compatible up to Firefox 6.x so I guess it's just PR stunt to get more people at every "major" release (which would probably be called 3.7.8 in the old days).
Anyone noticed anything, any "major" change?? THe URL at the bottom perhaps?
I had updated to FF4 a few days ago and the update advisor today recommended upgrading to fix a security flaw, and the product version is showing at 5.0 now. I preferred the 3.6 interface personally.

I note that Mozilla have stepped up their upgrade campaign. I recently installed 3.6 on an old machine and was greeted with an update to 3.7. When upgrading to that I was greeted with "Nearly there, now please upgrade to 4".
At that point I went back to 3.5 and ignored update pleas
(I have a good reason for this, it's only on one system, and I only access specific sites from that instance)
