Firefox 4, A Day Later

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the foxy-lady dept.

Yesterday we noted that Firefox 4 is out in the wild. Since then, the popular browser has been downloaded 6 million times, double the numbers reported for MSIE9. Now the development team is talking about a new development process and what to expect for FF 5 and 6. And unsurprisingly, naysayers proclaim that IE will survive, while Firefox will die.

    Is this guy really saying "wow, look, Firefox took forever to release a version which was just 0.5 higher, while Chrome went from 9 to 10 in four weeks."?

    How the FFFFFFFFFUUUUUU- does a moron like this get hired to write a tech column?

    "Ed Bott's Microsoft Report" predicts that IE will survive and Firefox will die.

    In other news a VCR said that VHS ain't going nowhere...

    (And what's worse, the fkuc up is making arguments based on major version number delta over time. Such uncanny insight is rare!)
