Monroe Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I wondered why Firefox was jumping these version numbers so frequently. The FF versions in the 30s and early 40s ... I was using some of them as a current User Agent for my older K-Meleon browser. It mostly works almost 100% for most web sites ... don't get "your browser is out of date" messages and all that. As I mentioned earlier ... I never worked with FF until the Pale Moon "dropping WinXP" announcement ... then after I download FF and get all my settings the way I want them, I learn it's dropping WinXP also ... although it will be another year or two ... maybe a little longer. ...

Mathwiz Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I really don't understand why Chrome, FF, and Opera all jumped on this silly "major version number only" bandwagon. All it does is obscure the difference between minor bug-fix updates and major feature upgrades. What's wrong with the v.r.m-style version numbers every other software product uses?
