Mozilla Firefox 6 Web-Browser Released

Red_Machine · Aug 17, 2011

There's Lunascape, which has all three browser engines in one (but you can only select Gecko if you wish). It's compatible with all Mozilla addons.

At least IE( can be fixed and the menu bar and tabs + status bar can be re-enabled.

The menu bar can be easily re-enabled in firefox. Just hold ALT.

Up to date and working great!

FF6 working fine here, disabling that compatibility check solves my only problem.

why they cant just call it 4.2/4.3 etc is beyond me.

I am not really getting people's fuss about the way Mozilla is going with the version numbers.

Who cares if they are jumping version numbers in integers or going in 0.001 increments! What matters is that the browser is not getting worse!

Whether it's called 3.6.10 or 6.1, it's still performing.

We (users) do. Web browser can be used for things other than just squandering time on Facebook so the rapid release schedule without proper testing only ensures that certain services and plugins stop working (for a while). Things like e-banking not working because some clown figured out the 4.03 should be named 6.0 and that 9.0 should be out by the end of 2011 ? Thanks, but no thanks, I don't need number inflation - I need a browser that works and doesn't break compatibility every other month. If M$ can manage security upgrades without advancing version for no reason so could Mozilla ..

i really dont see the number inflation as a problem, let the devs do whatever they want...

That's how I see it I don't get why people are griping OMG they used the number 6 . . .

Thunderbird has been bumped up to v6 now...

Stylish isn't compatible with it (so it says, it's likely to just be a version number fart), so I'm back to the default and ugly powder blue look.

Never used Stylish but I assume its for changing the FF theme? I use Personas for that. It works fine still.

My beef is the loss of Google Toolbar. I managed to be able to keep it alive using compatibility reporter on my laptop but I mistakenly forgot to install it on my desktop before upgrading to FF5 and now I can't even get it anymore.

Living in Norway and being Canadian the Translator was great for getting thru wordy Norwegian pages was great...

But then even that in itself has issues because Noscript breaks the toolbar too now and they are VERY vague on how to allow it thru Noscript to function fully...

I use it for integrating Aero into the Firefox shell. They said they did it, but they only did it halfway.

If e-banking stops working because of the browser's version number, then there are some issue with that e-banking system.

The security certificates should not expire like that!

Using FF 6.0.2, I have had the browser crash three times in the last week, the screen goes black and then the desktop returns with the little FF window saying something went wrong, etc.

I have never had FF crash before, and was wondering if anyone else has has this happen to them?
