Ask Slashdot: Life After Firefox 3.6.x?

Posted by Soulskill on from the i-hear-netscape-is-good dept.

Mooga writes "I am a hard-core user of Firefox 3.6.x who has chosen to stick with the older, yet supported version of Firefox for many years now. However, 3.6.x will soon hit end-of-life, making my life, and the lives of similar users, much more complicated. 3.6.x has been known for generally being more stable and using less RAM than the modern Firefox 10 and even Chrome. The older version of Firefox is already having issues rendering modern websites. What are others who have been holding onto 3.6.x planning on doing?"

    Doesn't seem too long ago that I was having the same questions about Netscape Navigator 4.5.

    So how did you get a coma in the first place?

    Once they start advertising, the whole 'you get what you pay for' argument is useless.

    True. If it doesn't work as advertised you're entitled to a full refund.

  5. Switch to IE 5.5 by sfled · · Score: 3, Funny

    Low RAM usage, pretty stable on Windows 98 & 2000. Yeah, IE 5.5, that's the ticket!
