Firefox 2 users: don't wait, upgrade to Mozilla Firefox 3 now

August 22, 2008 in Browsers | Permalink

Although Mozilla Firefox 3 is a better browser, people do not like change. It's the same reason some still use Internet Explorer 7. There are still far more users of the old Firefox 2 than the new browser, even though Firefox 3 is now established, developed to support more recent web standards and offers a much-improved browsing experience. Mozilla's plan is to make sure that these Firefox 2 users are aware of the new browser and that they should upgrade. It's not going to force people to upgrade - at least, not yet - but will give them an automatic warning that a new version is available and give them an option to install.

Of course, no development team wants to support two browsers with a different code base. It means having a team working on the old browser, just so they are familiar enough with the code to make security fixes and other important updates.

So, do Mozilla a favour and move across to Firefox 3 yourself.
