Default [Mozilla] Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.16


Quote:
Mozilla Firefox - faster, more secure, easier to use and sporting a new look, this latest Firefox release sets a new standard for web browser innovation. Mozilla Firefox project (formerly Firebird, which was formerly Phoenix) is a redesign of Mozilla's browser component, written using the XUL user interface language and designed to be cross-platform. It is small, fast and easy to use, and offers many advantages over other web browsers, such as the tabbed browsing and the ability to block pop-up windows.

I know its pretty much pointless since Firefox 3 came out.

Why would you upgrade firefox 2 when firefox 3 is out? I'm confused.

They should be spending time fixing issues in firefox 3.

Think of it this way, either they fix the firefox 2 issues and we complain about them not fixing firefox 3 issues, or they fix the firefox 3 issues and the people who still use firefox 2 will complain.

Granted, I'd expect there to be more people using firefox 3 now but for them its a double edged sword.

Simply cut support for a older version of the program like most companys do, if you call/email a company and your using v2.0 when v3.0 is out, they are going to tell you to upgrade to 2.2 before giving you support most likely.

Firefox is free, there is no reason people shouldnt be upgrading to 3.. The only thing I could see with supporting older versions is if people are paying for the software and it cost money to upgrade to the newest (AKA Windows)

Maybe because they need addons that work under FF2?
And the new look is...homo.

Actually, there are some compatibility issues with FF3 on some business apps. Certain Citrix setups will not run on FF3 currently so it is in their best interest to keep up support for FF2.
