[aklug] Re: Firefox version

It's bizarre isn't it. The problem is that the Mozilla folks got away from
unix versioning. So they're reving every quarter or so. :(
Since this has been happening lots of folks have been upgrading ver 3...
While the rest have been cruising upwards. I'm pretty sure that their
seemingly endless upgrades have been the cause of two things....

1. A split in the mozilla camp... Just haven't heard anything offical yet.
2. Due to the upgrade cycle lots of users have been ditching Firefox and
going over to Chrome

Ok, enough of a diversion...
Back to changing the battery in the car...
Can they make it any harder?
