Which addons that use the Add-on SDK are breaking? Right, its not the extension API that is the problem here, it's that way back there was no extension API and add-ons hooked directly into the browser, I don't think anyone expected it to become as big as it did. So yeah, legacy add-ons need to be converted to actually use the Add-on SDK, until then Mozilla is trying to predict which internal changes are likely to break which add-ons and not many things are "artificially" broken now. But there is only so much you can do with add-ons that are as much part of the browser as not.
For me, no, the new features are not compelling (and I wish many of them would cease to exist).
IE6 is over there [points at Windows XP box]. Or, alternatively, if you actually do like some updates, but only those updates, the sources for Firefox and Chromium are also easily available. Vendors though do not focus exclusively on you and, unless you personally create some huge financial incentive for your particular set of features, I really don't see why they should.
People who don't understand traditional version numbering should not criticize numbering schemes. Traditionally it's major internal changes (i.e. compatibility change), whether user visible or not, that rev major version numbers, everything else goes after some dot or another. Not that many have ever followed it... but of course those making illusory compatibility promises via crappy numbering are fine, as long as they don't rev the major number too much you can pretend it's not your problem and use the number to CYA when combining with your shaky systems. Hey, guess what, Firefox is not your internal IT department and shouldn't keep back useful internal improvements to satisfy your business needs. Fix you processes, be they software testing or web development so that everything doesn't come crashing down when something changes, because version number stability doesn't mean shit won't break.
Not that locked in syndrome does anything to convince me that I should cling to the desperate hope and let myself be kept around with copious amounts of machinery. Quite the opposite really.
Selective statistics are an appeal to emotion, take a look at the economic costs of Chernobyl instead. That's not the whole picture, but at least it doesn't completely ignore the aftermath where the cause of death isn't completely binary anymore.
Neither post-its nor medicine will do you a damn good if you trapped in a flipped car in a ditch obscured by bushes. Or if you miss the effective window of stroke drugs. Or if you bleed to death a minute before the ambulance arrives because you buddy went hunting for a phone. Of course it doesn't affect humanity at large, but I personally don't want to be fucked over because someone has the overwhelming urge to be a passive aggressive bastard. You might disagree but stay within the fact when arguing the position.

That's why I take my superzoom with me, so that the best camera I have is a good one. If your DSLR is sitting in your closet you have too much camera, a pocket point-and-shoot is a better choice for a camera if you don't actually intend to carry a camera bag, not something as unwiedly as an iPad (the best camera being the one that is with you when your backpack isn't, the fact that it's technically better is just icing). This argument applies to phones, not tablets.
Does lock into a stable, lap-ready configuration without the need for cumbersome cases? Bonus if it doubles battey life. No? Tranformer still looks better for anyone who wants a nice keyboard in that case.
Well, they did. Pretending people didn't die in situations they wouldn't today, because they can get help, is kinda ignorant. How did we survive without vaccines, penicilin and aspirin? Just like we survived without cell phone: by not being the ones who died, doesn't mean others didn't.
I know a doctor who lost his ability to write and went numb on one side of the body. Odly enough his response was to pick up the phone and get help. I must be fictional too.
If you don't want cell phone use in your facility, shield it. The moment your jammer bleeds a milimeter out of your property lines, and it will, I'd prefer the relevant regulator to take you appart. You never know what you're fucking with, e.g. a misconfigured, but otherwise legal, wireless link can interfere with doppler radar. Shield, warn, move on, but never, ever broadcast for no good reason.
The mighty wiki disagrees: "The reported completion date of the MPEG-1 standard, varies greatly: a largely complete draft standard was produced in September 1990, and from that point on, only minor changes were introduced.[2] The draft standard was publicly available for purchase.[14]"
People feel the presence of god on a regular basis. People can hear the difference between "two cables" by someone telling them that cables have been switched though the equipment is untouched. People can remember things that weren't there with a little bit of suggestion. People have felt the Bad Eye on them. People have their pain soothed by a sugar pill, even knowing it is a sugar pill. I don't believe myself to be exempt, do you?
Opioid painkillers work better than non-opioid ones, endorphin works really, really well. That doesn't mean that endorphin triggers are effective drugs, much less the most effective drugs (kids, don't try this on your pulmonary inflammation). Good news is that placebos can work without deception, fraud and money-grubbing, so research in that area can focus on how to make it a tool for doctors, not a living for frauds and True Believers.
It's like asking why a town has both it's own police force and county sheriffs. Sometimes it seems that the only reason is that the US enjoys splintering jurisdictions as much as possible.

Well, good thing keeping the major version number at 3 would prevent bugs from breaking stuff!

Whether or not it's bad isn't the question, the pragmatic solution was to install Windows and use IE.
Some people were being ideological about their OS yes.
The source is over there. Don't try to shove your decisions down the developers throats.
Welcome to OBJECT, Flash was deemed to be a better way to do it. Those who don't learn from history, etc.
The pragmatic solution to the dominance of IE6 was to use IE6, not to stubbornly work on the Netscape 5 code base until a Pheonix sprang from it.
Case in point: strengthening DES. It's pretty clear that the NSA doesn't care if they are viewed with suspicion.

Ah, see he's silently interfering with everyone, so it's totally ok.

Too bad the books are specifically tied to a particular device, not non-physical data that can be transfered and gain a new life...
