The folks at Mozilla don't have time to actually use their browser (test) before they release it to the wild with this new 6 week update cycle paradigm. Enough already stop this madness!
I just updated to FF 8 and regret it already. Continuous updates that cause add-ons to become incompatible is insane. I'm not sure who is driving this train wreck, but creating this post may be the last time I use any Mozilla product. Why would I be presented with 9 tabs each asking me whether I wanted to update each individual add-on and have to check a box and hit a continue button only have to restart FF again. FF is already so slow to start that by the time it starts I have often forgot why I was starting it.
Even worse, based on the lists below there should have been 19 more tabs to annoy me.
I can trace my use of FF all the way back to Netscape 6.2. I remember the conversations at wired/web-monkey discussing starting the Mozilla project. I even took part in them. I used Thunderbird for a long time, always hoping they would come up with a decent integrated calendar. Finally, I just had to give up and unhappily I've moved on to MS Outlook. Now I'm about to do the same thing with FF.
Maybe somebody at Mozilla can drop me a line and let me know when they decide to start listening to their users, rather than their wiz-bang developers. I may give it a try again for old times sake.
Another sad failure.
