Seriously? 26 just showed today and already 27 beta 1? Hahahaha!

Err, I'm guessing you don't know how releases work.

As soon as the final beta code hits the release day everything that's planned for the next release shifts down. Nightly becomes Aurora, Aurora becomes Beta.

It's not like they just cooked up a beta in 24 hours from nothing.

This is the problem with firefox now days it updates way to fast , back before they stared updateing like they was Google , Beta testing could go on a very long time, depened on how unstable the major build was.

Now days your going get a final even if it has the bugs as the beta. There are no more major builds every thing goes up a whole ver number in 1 mounth .

Just like 26 has a bug that 27 beta does.

Yeah, I know that they're dealing with the bugs and are expanding previous versions. But why release betas so soon? What's the point in releasing a new version of a program. What's so major in changes that it has to be consevutive number, not for example 25.1.1?

I know I been useing FireFox since version like verison 1.5, I was some of the 1st ones to test the new Aurora witch they said they was going to fix it were you could change release channels that only last one build lol.

The thing is Palemoon or TOR or any of them that use it never update it every time FireFox does, because of it being unstable.

Yesterday I hit updates on the about box and ESR made me update to 24 after a very long time lol.

Every since version 25 Ive had a bug were some pages in firefox just dont load, i get a blank page and one my friends tell they had the bug as well.

Also v26 and v27 have a flash bug when watching videos with flash .

Only way I mess with a new ver of firefox is with portables no way id install it as my default broweser.

If chorme's add-ons were just a little better I use it instead.

I have still the same thing for me, and you cant tell me that it dont have a flash bug its in the changelog on both ver that its not been fixed.

So how does it work fine when mozilla say it dont. Its not hard to clean up the profile just go to troubleshooting and reset it.

Ive had ver before that had flash bugs that caused FF to lock up Id have to force reboot to get out of it thats no fun. Ill stay with 24.2.0 ESR for now.
