Does chrome post a blog post when there is a new version? Yes.
Does firefox post a blog post when there is a new version? Yes.
Does someone on HN make a thread when there is a new version of either? Usually.
Neither one is making a big deal about their versions. You are.
- tghw 15y agoI'm just pointing out differences. Hardly a big deal, it's just clear that Mozilla is still transitioning to thinking less about distinct versions. A couple of examples of where Mozilla does make the version number clear: * The download link * The downloaded file (Firefox Setup 6.0.exe) * The new version page that automatically comes up the first time you run the new version (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/6.0/whatsnew/ http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/6.0/whatsnew/) * And, most annoyingly, the add-on version check and resulting incompatibilities. That last one actually is kind of a pain, since, as other people have mentioned, not all add-on authors have updated their add-ons to be compatible with 6.0, despite that being a single character change to an XML file for 98% of them. (Fortunately, addons.mozilla.org does this for authors, so it is only the ones hosting the add-ons themselves that are a problem.)
