thanks for the update but i am waiting for Firefox 7 to be final as ill stick with Aurora channel for now as Firefox 7's memory usage is hugely improved which means prior versions are obsolete/not worth using.

i been using Firefox 7 for over a month now and i won't go back to to big memory improvements over prior versions.

Ha - if it wasn't for Google's lame versioning strategy, FF 6 would - and should - have been 4.2. :rolleyes:

i agree as it's been ages like that up until recently. because full version number changes used to mean fairly big leaps. now you just get small differences between FF4 to FF6. FF7 is where the big leap is at anyways due to the very noticeable ram use reduction.

because with the usual version numbering it would have basically been like this...

Firefox 4

Firefox 4.1 (i.e. Firefox 5)

Firefox 4.2 (i.e. Firefox 6)

Firefox 5 (i.e. Firefox 7 (since the very noticeable ram reduction would be a major boost to the browser))

I'm going to sleep now. Wake me up when people stop complaining about this and just be happy that they are actually releasing updates faster.

I must have totally missed FireFox 5 haha, I was sure the latest was version 4.

Google don't make any deal what so ever about what version the browser is, so it shouldn't matter.

firefox 6 is a nice improvement, mainly in HTML5 capabilities, the other changes are rather minor. Not long until Firefox 7 beta, need the ram improvements badly, i hate firefox increasing in ram over several hours, supposedly firefox 7 will pretty much fix this.

Fx7 will enter Beta on 16th, so only a few more days of waiting.

Must this happen every time?

It's not really final until it's actually announced as a release. Then all the pages are up to date, and the build will have been fully tested and approved. So, use at your own risk, but why do we have to have a thread jumping the gun every time?

And, they're doing time-based releases, hence the version increment each time (because 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 forever would be silly). Just ignore the bloody version number.

I'm going to sleep now. Wake me up when people stop complaining about this and just be happy that they are actually releasing updates faster.

True. Yeah, this new versioning, like Chrome's versioning, is a bit misleading and artificial, but I'm glad they are rolling out improvements much more quickly instead of getting bogged down. Getting to 4.0 took way too long.

More than likely trying to keep up with rival browsers versions.

IE9

Opera 11

Chrome 13

FF4... Sounds pretty far behind the rest

Chrome doesn't advertise its version number anywhere. Chrome isn't trying to beat anyone's version number, and no one is trying to catch up to chrome's. Firefox isn't adopting a chrome style release cycle because of a damn version number, they are doing it for faster, consistent releases that get improvements to the end user faster, rather than the previous monolithic releases that let the current version get stale and behind (*cough firefox 3.6 cough*).

    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
    • I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
