last few versions of Firefox haven’t been that good

I’ve found one Web site, my bank as it happens, that works fine with Firefox, but it doesn’t recognize Firefox 6 as being a valid Web browser.

This version of Firefox also does much better than previous versions at managing memory

I know that Firefox 7 will have better memory management. I also know that Firefox 7 is due out on September 27th

Mozilla wants to take this a step further

The argument is made that you don't know what version of, say, Twitter or Facebook you're using, so why should your Web browser be any different?
