thunderpants Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I though the gap between releases helped with bug testing.If they are going to lessen the gap and release much quicker ,it would cause probs. for lots of users wouldn't it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlston Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 As long as they still allow add-ons to undo unwanted new features and add-ons to restore features they remove, I care little what these self-described "champion of users' rights" do. I'll keep using Firefox, not because I choose to, but because I have too much time and effort invested in it to change browsers now.Beats me how quicker releases are going to improve anything. They seem to be obsessed with having a version number race with Chrome.Wouldn't surprise me if they're also discussing forcing updates on users, a la Windows 10.

manju Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Wouldn't surprise me if they're also discussing forcing updates on users, a la Windows 10.that kind is a good thing, consedering that not every user outthere does the updates in time, or even knows how to handle the updates :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven36 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Every since the rapid release cycle is been going down hillIn the last 12 months, Firefox's user share -- an estimate of the portion of all those who reach the Internet via a desktop browser -- has plummeted by 34%. Since Firefox crested at 25.1% in April 2010, Firefox has lost 13.5 percentage points, or 54% of its peak share.At Firefox's 12-month average rate of decline, Mozilla's desktop browser will slip under the 10% bar in June, joining other third-tier applications like Apple's Safari (with just a 4.8% user share in February) and Opera Software's Opera (1.1%). If the trend continues, Firefox on the desktop could drop below 8% as soon as October.http://www.computerworld.com/article/2893514/an-incredibly-shrinking-firefox-faces-endangered-species-status.htmlNow there going to commit suicide they need get back to just being a good web browser again. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
