The longer number doesn't mean anything in a rolling release system. EACH release will contain all of those things, so a single number is just as accurate.
A rolling release system that introduces breaking changes in EACH release is flawed.
Looks like they're adding far more than they're removing.
It is a false dichotomy. It is entirely possible to add features without removing existing ones.
Oh wait, you don't mean web features, you mean UI features
The web browser is the interface between the user and the Web. The UI is not unimportant.
If Microsoft gets lambasted every so often for changing the UI of MSOffice for no good reason, Mozilla shouldn't get a free pass.
a few people are too proud to install addons to get back
Your assumption that useful addons will be maintained forever and will never become useless due to breaking API changes is optimistic at best.
Right, I should have known.
Kindly stick to the point.
Snowden also indicated that he would be willing to accept a "short period" behind bars.
How much time behind bars do those that break the "supreme law of the land" get?
Detaining alleged criminals without due process, no sentence, no release date.
FTFY.
Well except mutants aren't real
I really like to just glance at a version number and see what it is.
And how much information does this single number provide?
What's wrong with the commonly accepted scheme of <major>.<minor>.<patch> where:
<patch> changed - bug and/or security fixes
<minor> changed - some added features and/or minor UI changes
<major> changed - significant changes that may cause compatibility and/or workflow issues.
eh?
Mozilla [is] taking the web serious[ly] by removing features frequently
FTFY
And how many new features have they introduced in those patches?
A more interesting question is:
<firefox>How many useful features have they removed in those patches</firefox>
Just because I don't go around reproducing every bit of science that I "believe" is true,
that doesn't suddenly make my acceptance of its truth = religious beliefs.
Just because I don't go around reproducing Genesis 1:3, does not mean that I cannot.
They will also reject any password that contains your name or email address (before the @ part).
For example, if your name is Bob or your email is bob@example.com, then apparently the password asdFAS$@#42Dsd53$*jds22bob,"sK!SsdF$5+x is not considered secure. Idiots.
A sensible response! But I'm not giving up my U.S. Constitution.
You don't need to, your government already did.
Well played, sir.
Shouldn't we lie down, put a paper bag over our head or something?
Only if you're ugly.
There are too many addons with overlapping functionality.
Disconnect
RequestPolicy
Ghostery
Privacy Badger
and many others...
What is the recommended subset?
From TFA:
a warning sign behind the cashier informed him that the store “reserves the right to limit the daily amount of prepaid card purchases and has an obligation to report excessive transactions to the authorities.”
If that is not a sign of a totalitarian state, I don't know what is.
