[News] FOSS Skeptic Looks at Firefox 3.5

Hash: SHA1

First look at stable Firefox 3.5

| In short this is a bad, dirty nasty naughty PC, with a highly fragmented hard 
| drive and a lot of other programs fighting for processor attention. If 
| Firefox works well here and (so far) it does, imagine what it can do on your 
| nice, clean, obedient and well-tended machine.

Hard currency and open source

,----[ Quote ]
| Over 150 years ago, President Andrew Jackson agitated for principles that 
| will sound familiar to open-source software advocates. But his "back to our 
| agrarian roots" rationale for doing so sounds as wrong-headed today as it did 
| back then.

| In other words, while we should rightly say "good riddance" to Enron-esque 
| software business models, it's counterproductive to demand a return to 
| our "agrarian" software roots.

Mozilla recommends upgrading from Firefox 3.0.x to 3.5.x

,----[ Quote ]
| The information pop-up offers users the option of downloading Firefox 3.5
| immediately, downloading it later, or skipping it completely. Although the
| pop-up informs users of potential add-on incompatibilities, users will only
| find out whether updates for their installed add-ons are available after
| upgrading to the new version of Firefox. The Mozilla development team says
| that 90 percent of add-ons have either been updated for version 3.5, or new
| version have been created.
