"Depending on which statistics you look at, about 2.5% of all Firefox users
are still working with version 3.6 of the browser. That’s millions of
users who are currently working with a version of the web browser that is

Mozilla recently ended support for the browser and tried to get Firefox 3.6
users to update through the browser’s automatic update feature. The
organization furthermore published blog posts and information on its core
websites to inform users about the the unsupported version, and recommended
there as well to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox."

The HTML standard is evolving. New browser functions are emerging. You
have to adapt, or stay with old versions.

Many of 3.6 users were interprise users,
where prolonged support of FF 3.6 was maintained by Mozilla
due requirements of enterprise support policies.

It is superseded by FF 10 ESR, and by future ESR releases in about
yearly intervals.

I remember when I finally had to quit using Netscape 3.04 after several
months of pages not loading and/or displaying improperly.

It took me awhile to get used to the different interface of IE, but in
time I managed.

I'm finally back with Mozilla using FF, now that there is an add-on that
substistutes for the "inline-autocomplete" feature which has kept me
glued to IE for lo these many years. There's also a really good
community around Mozilla, as well as a devotion to customization.

Chrome's in-line autocomplete is much better than both IE & FF.

It's the Chrome menu I can't get used to. I'm tempted to install it again
because of all the excellent Google add-ons (and of course the resulting
loss in privacy). I think I read that you can default to a File/Edit/View
etc menu in Chrome. True?

Firefox 12 is great for some things like download management and some cool
add-ons, but it gets bogged down with multiple pages opened and video
caching. I seem to have better luck with Opera. I find Internet Explorer
to be problematic for one reason - not enough adblockers for it.

No. Thereis not and never has been a toolbar for File/Edit/View. The
options those menus contain are under the wrench tool. Some don't like
this non-standard approach, but it's only one menu versus three.

Chrome doesn't bog down unless you run out of system resources. There
are no memory leaks as met with FireFox.

There are no issues with extensions when you update and Chrome
extensions have matured enough to rival and in many case exceed what's
available for FF.

There is a reason Chrome has been the browser to surpass IE.

Chrome recently had over 8 bugs which allowed a couple of hackers to make
some money off google. IE: Chrome could be tricked into running code it
shouldn't be, outside the sandbox will full rights as chrome has. IE: the
code can make new files, delete files, whatever the author wants. An
uptodate chrome with a fully patched win7 machine.

Google hasn't fixed it completely yet either. they aren't diclosing over 4
of the bugs as they work to fix it. In the meantime, if it's taken
advantage of, it'll allow code to execute outside of the sandbox with
whatever rights the browser does.

You just keep preaching this browser. Google is taking days to fix it and
hoping security by obsecurity (IE: not telling anybody) will keep users of
it's browser safe until they fix it.

Yes, this is another reason.
I always stayed at older release,
until all my major addons were compatible with new one.

Personally I take Chrome as one of worst "malware",
due its aggresive bundling policy.

One never knows, when he gets it on his PC,
if he is not careful enough.

There would be much less number of software of any kind,
if both its authors and its users did not think it is the best.

It's like you're reading my mind. Both IE7 and IE8 were just fine for
me, but without ABP they're not contenders.

Another thing is ( at least was ) it did not ask
for folder to install into at all and even worse,
installed itself into Appdata folder tree.

I have also seen Google autoupdate services too intrusive.

I cannot help myself, I do not like Chrome.
I am afraid Chrom is pushed mainly because being from Google,
not because being the best.

I have read interesting article,
that people are flapping their hands for Google,
that is doing many same things as Microsoft years ago,
and people did not like MS for that.

I do not pretend I like Google company these days.
I liked it in very early period when they started.

But it is my personal choice. Pushing my opinion to others
as if it was the only right one would not be good thing.

It is the best browser currently for many factual reasons, not opinions.
Synchronization is just one of them...were it IE or Firefox that contained
them, I would be 'pushing' them.

As they are evaluated by persons, they ARE opinions.
So does every trademark "BEST (R)" is based on opinion,
at least on opinion of authors of evaluation rule set.

Hm, I did know I am not able to synchronize FF,

Oh! wow. Like I need that. I hardly ever use bookmarks. I have this
thing built in called memory, and when that's lacking a search engine is
a click away. It's quicker, and more intuitive to the search process, or
at least it is for me. There are no surprises with bookmarks.

Not everyone thinks like you bully boy. Telling us how to think will get
you nowhere unless you back it up with some empirical evidence as to why
changing our view is advantageous to us.

Bookmarks, combined with history, are great,
even if you as I did not bother with bookmark browsing at all.

FF is great in prioritized autocompleting addresses
according to addresses/titles/tagwords from them.

It is much faster and more accurate than googling.
And Xmarks, former Foxmarks are great in syncing.

I don't like Google. I don't trust Google. Google has a history of
censorship and destruction which disqualify it from being considered a
trustworthy supplier.

That having been said, I will admit that I do use their search engine as
my default search engine, because most of the time it returns the most
relvant results (Bing is a close second, but they don't filter out eHow
spam and other garbage).

I use Google search because there is no alternative, but I do not use
their browser because their are alternatives.

I've had an easier time transitioning from Dos to Windows 3.1 to Win 95 to
Win 2000 to XP to Windows 7 than I have trying to get used to the Chrome
menu (ok maybe not Windows 7 and it's file placement for Documents and
Settings, roaming,apps and data/ini files of programs installed).

My experience with it is it has only continued to get better overall.
Privacy, well such is not the place for the Internet. Don't expect that to
improve and you will less likely set yourself up for dissappointment.
Control what you reveal...though it may already be too late for you.

The changing of sunlight to moonlight
Reflections of my life
How they fill my eyes
My sorrows
Sad tomorrows
Take me back to my own home
My crying
Feel I'm dying
Take me back
To my own home
I'm changing
Arranging
I'm changing
Everything
Everything around me
The world is
A bad place
A bad place
A terrible place

Who follows the thread, never take it as endless, otherwise he would have
it marked as ignored thread.

If not, than he should complain to himself not doing so yet. :-)
