The newest version of Firefox is now available for the PC and Mac. Its newest features include a Forward button that remains hidden until you actually need it, support for full-screen APIs, and better extensions management. [Mozilla]
OK the update on my computer came through the FF client, so definitely not a beta! The last I checked all my add ons are working fine and I’m sure they didn’t call it an upgrade if all they did was hide a button. Sheesh, lighten up
Ha ha I was about to Download this until I read the headline feature – a self hiding forward button. If that’s not the biggest tech news of the year I dunno what is…
I stopped using it because it is a resource hogging troll that slows my PC down. Switched to Chrome, much faster at the moment. Not browser loyalty here, just whichever works the best.
Obviously they are updating so Joe Smith doesn’t see IE9 and FF4 and think, 9 is higher and therefore better. It’s the same logic Microsoft used to name the Xbox 360, as they didn’t want people to see Playstation 3 verses Xbox 2 and think, bigger numbers are better.
With that said, I still use 3.6.25, as every time I go to update some addons aren’t compatible, and by the time they all are compatible with one version, another has come out and they don’t work with that.

Update every day for something disgustingly negligible? DO NOT WANT.
