Firefox 6.0 Released

And when things look the same, and feel the same, how wrong it would be to call it a minor update! March onwards in the name of major updates with little change!

True! It's awkward .. FF 6 shouldn't have been anything more than 4.1. Just installed FF 7.0 b1 .."feels" faster or maybe it's placebo .. dunno! Dreading V8 because they're removing the search box afaik!

No Java.

Java works ok for me?

If there is little change with FF6, I might as well skip it and wait for the allegedly faster FF7. I really don't want to deal with incompatible addons every few months.

I want separate address bar and search box, because it is clear in my head I'm searching history/bookmarks in address bar, and searching new stuff in the search box. It is quicker to find what you want because results are more focused. If FF8 is really going to remove search box, it will be the last straw.

Am I the only one in thinking mozilla thinks it is no longer the upstart, we no longer have to listen to users as before.

Are you sure that they can`t work? May be its time to learn how to cheat compatibility protection.

If you find some say they're incompatible in FF 6, there are ways to get around it and usually still work just fine, if you were so inclined to. At least until your addon devs put out updates for them.

I have to cheat to use something that increasingly rubs me the wrong way, I feel dirty, lol!
