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

Firefox 6, the newest version, is better than Firefox 5, but it’s not that great either.

Just because Mozilla developers are paid to keep up with constant change doesn’t mean that individual developers or small independent software vendors (ISV)s can keep up.

I ran not only Firefox, but Chrome 13 and Internet Explorer (IE) 9 to see how Firefox 6 compared to its chief rivals

Firefox, once more, didn’t do well on Web standards.

Firefox really fell behind with 4,588 points. On this benchmark, IE surged ahead with a score of 8,343 to Chrome 13’s 8,010.

The other browsers are better

I wish I coud still recommend Firefox, but I can’t.

The Reset Firefox feature would automatically create a new Firefox user profile and migrate the user’s data, including bookmarks, history and passwords.

Mozilla tackled half the problem in Firefox 8 by blocking automatic third party add-on installations in the web browser. Users now have the option to accept or deny installation of the add-on. The feature is integrated in Firefox 8.

Firefox 6 officially debuted earlier this month

the survey found that Firefox 6 has already garnered at least 8 per cent of the total traffic from browsers,

45 per cent of all Firefox-stemming traffic.

don't get too excited for Firefox 6 just yet;

Chitika found that the growth rate for Firefox 6 is starting to taper off,

This means that Mozilla has some work to do, in order to get other Firefox users and beyond to jump on this version now.

A new permissions tool (accessed by typing "about:permissions" in the browser's address bar) will give users a chance to set site-specific permission levels for saved passwords, cookies, location-sharing, pop-ups, and images, to name a few options.

Pushing out patches to fix security holes or resolve bugs does not qualify as a new version of the browser

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?

If you're going to force the user to know about every update, it seems a little unfair to refuse to even tell her what version she's using.

Mozilla is carefully circumventing the phrase of “waging war” against the creation of closed or “siloed” environments on the web.

competing, but not so by going directly against a rival, but by being “different”

That name would be Apple, which Mozilla’s chairman and chief lizard wrangler Mitchell Baker directly addressed in a series of sequential blog posts that outline Mozilla’s future direction. The attacks aren’t as crude and as we typically see between Mozilla and Microsoft. They are much more carefully worded, perhaps in an effort to remain polite and not to raise any unnecessary attention

“There’s no reason why “apps” can’t incorporate the characteristics that are important about the web. They don’t today because Apple didn’t build them that way. There’s no reason Apple should; Apple has a different view of the world. But we can. In fact, Mozilla is one of the very few organizations that can do this.”

Mozilla has yet to show what it plans to do and leaves us with its vision for now. Mozilla believes that its opportunity is a user’s desire to run anything he wants on any device he owns. Mozilla believes that a user wants to be in charge of his web experience, not Apple, Google or a device. Mozilla believes that a user would want to be in control of her/his identity and the information that is made available. Of course, Mozilla’s model is also based on Firefox and a web browser, which Apple could care less about at this time.
