Well may be they need to follow Debian's philosophy, 'release when ready' and not give out dates at all. Their estimates are WAY TOO OFF. i.e. FF 3.6, 3.6.4, 3.7?, Beta 7 etc... this is just in last year or so. They are months off their target!!

By giving out incorrect estimates, they are only looking more unprofessional. They cannot look bad (or unprofessional) if they don't even give out estimated dates.

I've decided to install as few addons as possible for Firefox once I update to the 4.0 final release, because then it keeps the speed up. The reason it was so slow for me was because of the addons.

Are they evey planning to fix the awful tab animations? Compared to chrome and opera they are very laggy and unresponsive.

There are a lot of performance related bugs that block Firefox 4 release... that is all I know.

Tabs DO NOT lagg for me.

Sensible plan. A bunch of the many I used to use are being replaced by built-in functionality anyway, which is always good to have (e.g. Sync, Glasser).

i was meaning how long in hours or days assuming no blockers get reported.

If you haven't learned by NOW, THERE IS NO SET TIME!!!! Take a couple tokes and chill! Have you tried calling a psychic friends network? Maybe purchase a tarot card reading. Consult an astrology chart. Ask a dead person!

    • Nvidia is your issue more so than linux itself. I did used it for a while with an old 1060 3gb, but using propietary drivers was kind of messy.

    • BATorrent 3.0.3 is out.
    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
