Guest LilBambi Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Yes, it is a bit fast of a 'rapid release program'. I still use Firefox for some things, but it's no longer my mainstream browser and hasn't been since they started this crap and still hadn't fixed the memory hole.

Corrine Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 Mozilla sent Firefox Version 33.1 to the release channel. The update includes a number of new items and lists several known issues. Mozilla Firefox Release Notes Edit to add: It appears that this update is to celebrate 10 years of Firefox. It seems a rather artificial celebration since evolution of the name to Firefox was based on a trademark dispute and brand confusion. (Yes, I started with Phoenix (2002), renamed Firebird (2003) and finally Firefox (2004). Having become disenchanted with the "Rapid Release Program", I have changed to Pale Moon as my primary browser.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I also started with I started with Phoenix (2002), renamed Firebird (2003) and finally Firefox (2004) so saying 10 yrs is just a slap in the face for all of us that Beta Tested Phoenix and Firebird before they changed the name.
