My understanding (I can't find where I read it) is that Firefox 3.6 will stick around for a while to support older OS releases. Do you have information that's different? > I use this on my F14 work machine (albeit in x86_64), and I've had no > problem. Browse continues to work in Sugar. Yes. But in this case Browse is still using the old version of XULRunner, Browse doesn't work with Xulrunner 2. > Are there any thoughts/plans about including Firefox 4 in the OLPC/DX OS? There are a lot of other impacts that would need to be addressed and its no a small amount of work.
