It probably implies "yet another Firefox release (without many significant user-facing changes)..."
There seems to be a general grudge among somewhat technically-minded people against the entire phenomenon of new Firefox releases since Firefox switched to its frequent release model.
- mbrubeck 14y agoI loved the official announcement of Chrome 20: http://chrome.blogspot.com/2012/06/yet-another-chrome-release.html http://chrome.blogspot.com/2012/06/yet-another-chrome-releas...
- zalew 14y agoyeah, like there shouldn't be any release logs in shorter development cycles...
- natrius 14y agoOnce they stop publicizing version numbers, this will probably die down.
- mbrubeck 14y agoFor the past year, Mozilla has never mentioned version numbers in the official announcements of new Firefox releases. For example, the Firefox 14 announcement: https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2012/07/17/new-security-and-developer-features-now-in-firefox/ https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2012/07/17/new-security-and-de...
- natrius 14y agoRight, but the Firefox download page has the version number right on the download page. If/when auto-updating in the background works well, that should go away.
- melling 14y agoNot at all. Most people don't care about the frequent updates. I certainly don't. I get a daily update. There's simply a section of the geek population that likes to whine loudly. If you don't like Firefox's update cycle switch to Chrome.
- mgunes 14y agoIf you read my comment slowly, you'll note that I didn't express any dissatisfaction with Firefox updates, and said "somewhat technically-minded people", which corresponds to your definition of "a section of the geek population".
