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))

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

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*).

    • I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
