It's the name of a popular SSH and Telnet client. Any other meaning is in the eye of the beholder. It's been rumoured that ‘PuTTY’ is the antonym of ‘getty’, or that it's the stuff that makes your Windows useful, or that it's a kind of plutonium Teletype. We couldn't possibly comment on such allegations.
And to the people who say "That is fine, but these are minor features, the first version number should be reserved for major changes! It should be called Firefox 4.1!":
There will be no major releases! Stuff gets released when it is done, that means there is never going to be a traditional "feature dump release".
That would mean Firefox is stuck at version 4 forever, despite Firefox 4.MAXINT being completely different feature- and compatibility-wise than Firefox 4.0
“In the first week of downtime we did not really see any major change in sales or trades,” says one source, a store manager at a major UK retailer speaking on condition of anonymity. “However from the second week onwards we have seen an increase of over 200 per cent on PS3 consoles being traded in, split almost 50/50 between those trading for cash and those taking a 360 instead.”
LastPass gives the user the option to use all these security features (strong master password, authentication grid, fingerprint/card reader, hardware key), but they can't force the user to be secure.
The user is always the weakest link, but this doesn't mean that those who know what they are doing can't be safe.
I haven't been able to find an equivalent in Firefox 4's NPAPI documentation, but it may exist. If it doesn't now, it will soon -- it's a really obvious feature to have.
Except the Volt went from "Electric car" to "Electric car with gasoline fueled range extender" (what normal people would call a plug-in series hybrid) to actually being a series/parallel plug-in hybrid.

Yes. Your ignorance is really amazing.
Plating? Bah! Luxury!
A piece of wire soldered to both sides!

Unrelated note: For some reason, I mis-read the slashdot headline as "What To Do When the Raptors Come?"
Obligatory XKCDSW
"Atomic" is still kinda iffy, "atomic bomb" and all that.
I propose "Sub-molecular thermoelectric generator" instead. :)

My country's search terms: http://www.google.com/insights/search/#geo=HU&gprop=images&cmpt=q
The number 1 by a wide margin is "képek" which means "images".
Searching for images on an image search site...
And the margin seems to grow bigger every year.
This is so sad.
Nope.
Not even that:

cd pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest/win32/en-US/
mget *.exe
quit

Apparently your problems will be solved in a month or so.

The funny thing is:
Mozilla based web browser 3.6.15
They have funky names for every piece of software, yet they won't tell you what the browser is called?

Ubuntu offers the option to install only free packages, which means it also offers the option to install nonfree packages too.
Thank you, Captain Obvious... -.-
Or you could just backup the %AppData%\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[random characters].default folder.
This seems pretty nice:
