The only reason I'm hating on it is because it broke my plugins. Firefox has been using a specific versioning scheme for years and years, which all users and developers were used to. Then they start jumping the "major" version number, which breaks plugins that aren't updated as often, which causes users like me to not update.
I like Firefox a lot, but unless the plugin compatibility issues that popped up are resolved sometime soon I'll have to jump ship to using chrome full time.
That's just an ugly workaround. The Mozilla team really needs to fix their problem with plugin version checking to something more intelligent. Just completely bypassing the checks seems like a bad idea.
