I always uninstall using the tool from Adobe, then install new one, Adobe I'm sure recommend to uninstall reboot and install, but that may just be for Macs...who knows I really cant be bothered to go back and read it

Firefox 6 released tomorrow http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/08/15/firefox_6_code_lands/

Simon · Aug 15, 2011, 13:44:17

Another one??!

Steve · Aug 15, 2011, 13:48:22

I've been using FF 6 beta for awhile not sure I notice the differences any more.

Glenn · Aug 15, 2011, 13:52:21

7 beta is released tomorrow too.

Rik · Aug 15, 2011, 14:37:56

This is getting silly.

Steve · Aug 15, 2011, 15:23:22

Looks like I'll be on 7 then soon!

All it's doing is anoying the authors who write add-ons. For example, the guy who writes 'sitelauncher', which IMHO is quite useful, hasn't bothered updating it to work with V5. It can be modified but some of the functionality is missing.

Firefox 6 released.

Glenn · Aug 16, 2011, 16:51:15

They are not major updates, Rik, 7 will focus on memory and launch speed, its like the numbering system of Google Chrome, also the release are bug and security fixes still as well just like before.

Indeed, but yesterday it wasn't global unless you grabbed it from the ftp

It's going to get to Friefox 100 pretty soon at this rate.

There are now so many Beta testers available that Firefox has changed it's development process to give a fixed 6 week cycle and those of us using Aurora are now testing what will become Firefox 7.

Rik · Aug 16, 2011, 17:24:15

So, about 11 years before FF100, then.

kinmel · Aug 16, 2011, 17:26:51

Try it now, Aurora

Rik · Aug 16, 2011, 17:27:44

I'm waiting for Borealis.

Simon · Aug 21, 2011, 13:32:10

Have to admit, that's one thing I only download as and when I need it.

Has to be better than 10.4 that saw lots of issues with uploading photos and needing to delete the ipod photo cache and re-trying.
