Beta software= Uh, NO.

Don't recommend doing this on your system that you use daily... I install beta and test software on a junk machine but it's often re-imaged right before I do it to verify results vs some other software causing issues.24giovanni wrote:Did you just install it right over 3.6.12?

Not really a update.. FF 4 is coming soon but for now Mozilla has put live cam's at the Knoxville zoo to show how they have adopted red pandas for ya to watch. http://firefoxlive.mozilla.org/
According to the caretaker : "the cubs are extra active & entertaining after they’ve been fed, usually around 9 a.m., 12 p.m. and 4 p.m. EST."
Funny to watch that's for sure

Well Java and FF update on their own... why do you need quicktime?

From what I've been reading around, full final version of 4 will release towards the end of Feb. Releasing one more beta and one RC prior to it.

This bug fix or update coming in FF 4 will end up speeding the load time of FF4 by twice as fast as what you can get now!!

Expect FF 4 soon but also expect to see 5,6 and 7 by the end of THIS year!!! Although it does have "Draft" at the top of the page for the wiki, it's still leaves the door open for at least 1 version this year after FF4.
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Roadmap
sourceFirefox's official roadmap has been updated, and boy are there some interesting changes afoot. Most notably, Firefox 7 will ship in 2011. The second biggy, and the main focus of Firefox development in 2011, is to make sure there is no more than 50ms between any user interaction and feedback from the browser.
As far as feature sets go, this is what the roadmap looks like: Firefox 5 will absorb the Account Manager and F1 Simple Sharing add-ons to become built-in features. It looks like Windows 7 64-bit will be officially supported with FF5, too.
Firefox 6 will have a focus on the Web applications framework, JavaScript optimizations, and support for OS X 10.7. For Web applications, some missing pieces of CSS3 and HTML5 will be added to Gecko, the rendering engine.
Firefox 7's feature list is less clear. Electrolysis (splitting everything into separate processes) and changes to XBL support are mentioned, but nothing certain.
Overall, there's a big emphasis on responsiveness and "shining the primary UI until it gleams."
It'll definitely be interesting to see how Mozilla transitions to a new release cycle -- and it'll definitely mean a lot more Firefox-related news, too!

Group Policy FTW! I wrapped up my Java .23 updates at most clients last week.
About 15 minutes of my time per client/network.....no matter how large the network.
We also just purchased Kaseya....to automate smaller clients.
I'm about to 100% complete the jump from Firefox to Chrome. Ad block in Chrome good 'n mature, faster loading, faster response, safer...can't think of why to stay with FF.

The problem with Chrome is the privacy issue. Google business model is to find out what we do to assess our behavior and life style for future use. Though they can track us up to certain level, using their own browser makes it easy for them to follow our every move.
One day they will get enough information to predict everything about a person and profiling. Like credit reporting agencies, they may become a Character reporting agency.

Very easily turned off by unchecking the "suggestion" feature of the searches. And...this search data is the same as when you install toolbars into Internet Exploader or Firefox or Safari....as they install BHO's into those browsers which do the same thing.

This is why I refuse to use Toolbars, and satrye has a good point on privacy. Google is sticking its head into just about everything that Face(Lame)book isn't.

And by default...what does Firefox had for a search bar? Yup! The BHO's for Google are in there too!Sava700 wrote:This is why I refuse to use Toolbars, and satrye has a good point on privacy. Google is sticking its head into just about everything that Face(Lame)book isn't.
And Internet Exploader users....what does IE have by default? Bing...and we have pretty much the same equivalent.

Everything tracks us. I like Chrome's incognito mode. Still use FF as well.
