Should I update to Firefox 7?
Should I update to Firefox 7?
Or should I wait until next week for Firefox 8 or the week after for Firefox 9?
Re: Should I update to Firefox 7?
I uninstalled 4 soon after I installed it. However, I'm mostly satisfied with 7. I skipped 5 and 6 entirely. Their release schedule is, though, really ridiculous.
Re: Should I update to Firefox 7?
I gave up on Firefox. They've driven the browser to the ground, completely lost sight of what made it good to begin with. So I switched to Chrome and I'm fine with it so far.

I haven't even been keeping up. Firefox 4 came out and I couldn't believe how bad it was. Then 5 came out and I didn't bother. I knew 6 was announced but didn't even know it was released. Can't believe they're already at 7 now.
'Course, they're at like Thunderbird 23 or something, so I'm not sure what Mozilla is thinking anymore.

Re: Should I update to Firefox 7?
I've been trying it out today, updating from 3.6
It's nice enough for me right now, although I don't see any phenomenal improvements (maybe a tad faster?, I don't know).
Anyways, Firefoxwith "Noscript" are my dream team for internet surfing. I'm sure other browsers have something similar to block ads and such, but why mess with what's working for me.

They're doing rapid fire releases like Chrome. It'll be over, uh, 9000 in no time.YoshiEgg25 wrote:Can't believe they're already at 7 now.

Re: Should I update to Firefox 7?
It's true. There's no reload button, no stop button, no statusbar. It's hardly recognizable as a browser. Definitely not usable as a browser.
