Thank you! RIP Firefox, killed by version bloat.

This kind of discrimination always existed, the news is that company in question actually admitted it as a dismissal cause, instead of the usual 'performance' cause.

I am using 3.6 and when they stop supporting it, I plan to stop using Firefox. The only reason I am using it in a first place is NoScript, otherwise I would have moved to Chrome ages ago. NoScript allows me to be sloppy with updating hosts killfile, it is by no means mandatory.
