Actually firefox is just doing what chrome is doing. Chrome has a major release every 6 weeks and changes it's major version number every 6 weeks. It's great when chrome does it, but when firefox changes their versioning schedule it's "stupid"?
- jcromartie 15y agoIt's just obnoxious because we hear about it when Firefox releases a minor update with a new version number. Did you hear a fanfare about Chrome 12 or 13? No.
- mtogo 15y agoThere's no fanfare. Firefox released a new version as it does every 6 weeks and people are happy because there's a better, faster firefox. The same thing happens with chrome.
- mbrubeck 15y agoChrome releases do make it to the front page of HN; they just don't mention the version number so prominently: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2875906 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2875906 It will take a while for the press to get used to the new Firefox release cycle, but by next year it will be treated just like Chrome. Mozilla has already stopped using version numbers in release announcements: https://blog.mozilla.com/blog/2011/06/21/mozilla-delivers-new-version-of-firefox-first-web-browser-to-support-do-not-track-on-multiple-platforms/ https://blog.mozilla.com/blog/2011/06/21/mozilla-delivers-ne...
