Firefox 6 is here!!!

Mozilla Firefox Web Browser — Free Download

And this does not even seem like news. Mozilla's been upping the version number faster than the breeding rate of mosquitoes at the nearby garbage dump.

Here's an interesting read that sums up a lot of my views:
Firefox 6: Four Reasons Not to Upgrade | PCWorld Business Center

And just for the reference it was released on 16th August, 2011 AD.

And look at this for the lulz

Firefox didn't say that there was an update available and prompt if i want to download it. It did it on its own. WTF!!!??

FF6 has got to be the bulkiest browser ever in term of memory consumption\

 

[JojoTheDragon]

Shouldn't they update the version 5, rather than releasing new versions so recklessly ?

Firefox 3 had many versions, but then 4, 5, now, 6. Why so fast in changing version numbers?? Competition with IE to beat its version number?

Memory usage is down by 100MB (compared to FF5).

Absolutely ridiculous article. Sums up half the tech journalists and readers who don't have a clue before writing such pile of crap.

This is what exactly they have done, updated Firefox 5 to Firefox 6.

Well lot of stuff there is crap, but he does make valid points when it comes to version numbering. I mean just look at the timeline I posted. And firefox has had a fairly constant rate of progress as far as features and major changes are concerned through versions.

Imagine us growing old and logging into TDF via Firefox version 1835.0 when IE would still be in some double digit version 67

Yes. But does that really matter to an average user and even you or me for that matter?

 

[ithehappy]

Absolutely crazy with FF. They've gone mad.

 

[abhijangda]

I still use Firefox 4. I don't think there is any need of Firefox 5 and even 6.

 

[Zangetsu]

hey I m getting popup message in FF 6.0 that FF7.0 is available

 

[Vyom]

Yeah, FF 7 beta is out.
