I can't help but wonder why Mozilla went from a very reliable, logical update structure, which was more concerned with getting things to work RIGHT than to just change things merely for the sake of changing them.
This year, we had a very GOOD 3.x FireFox. I loved them and happy installed their updates. Maybe there were small problems but they were always fixed.
And then came 4. Then 5. Then 6. And now 7 is being beta tested -
ALL IN THE SAME YEAR!
And each of these releases has introduced new bugs faster than they have fixed the old.
But enough of my rant about the updates. Right now, in this question, I'm wondering WHY.
Why the radical change in direction from Mozilla? Did they get a new CEO? Did they hire a new marketing team who overrode the development team?
I can't believe competition alone caused this radical paradigm shift in the company. It's as though entirely different mindsets are now in charge.
Anyone have any news about the company which might explain this?
