Re: Firefox 4
And Firefox 5 has been released.

Re: The Firefox Thread
Hmmm this is more like Firefox 4.1. I like the App Tab's feature though, have pinned Gmail and Facebook which is pretty useful.

Re: The Firefox Thread
Mozilla has gone for a Chrome-like release schedule. More frequent releases, fewer differences between versions.
And in fact, during my morning "look for interesting stuff to post on PCF" session, I found an article indicating that they want to remove version numbers from the user-facing parts of Firefox entirely...
For those interested in tracking this one, here's the Bugzilla entry for this change, and here's Mozilla's reasoning and discussion via a thread on the mozilla.dev.usability newsgroup.

(Article source here)Mozilla, though, wants to make sure that version numbers are buried deep with its browser where only developers, enthusiasts, and sniffing code can call them up. Over on Bugzilla, the always outspoken Asa Dotzler has posted Bug 678775 to get the ball rolling. As Dotzler states, it’s just another step in a process that is already “well under way.”

Re: The Firefox Thread
i'm on 6. according to them firefox 6 is faster than firefox 5.. i am still not sure if its true as i don't see any difference.
oh well. i have added more and more disable add on compatibility checker codes to my about:config in the last 3 major updates than i have ever added before. guess some addon makers just can't be bothered to keep up.

Re: The Firefox Thread
There must be another reason they brought it out - the message I get now is that it is strongly recommended that I make the upgrade as soon as possible.
I will think about it.

Re: The Firefox Thread
Right. Lets see if someone can help me with this problem.
I want to use FF (as a test to replace IE) for my local sites with proper browsing every now and then. So I have set my proxy settings manually and when I try to browse to one of the local sites I get the error about a URL "does not exist". If I set the proxy settings to off the local sites work like a charm. If I set the proxy settings to System Settings the local sites work fine. Its only when I manually add the proxy settings and exceptions that this error comes up.
Any ideas?

Re: The Firefox Thread
Not that I am aware of. Opera and IE work fine no matter how I configure them, its just FF...
