[Bug 873700] Re: Firefox is too old on Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS
I'm closing this bug since Ubuntu 10.04 is in EOL state and also because Firefox was upgraded from Mozilla Release for more 1yr now... ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/873700 Title: Firefox is too old on Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/873700/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Firefox 3.6 is very much supported by Mozilla at the moment and there will be a 3.6.24 release on Tuesday. We will be transitioning to the rapid release cycle at some point, we're just not sure right now if that's Firefox 8, 9, 10, or a later release. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/873700 Title: Firefox is too old on Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/873700/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I just try again and I get the same screenshot as you madbiologist, probably a change by the website author. But anyway I haven't any add-on, I'm on a clean installation of Ubuntu. In fact, that was a friend of mine who said "I didn't understand your link, I use Ubuntu 10.04." since he didn't have a LP account, I've installed an Ubuntu 10.04 on VirtualBox to find where the bug come from. I understand the philosophical problem, but why chromiun-browser was still updated from upstream and no Firefox? Firefox is version 3.6 and this branch isn't supported anymore by Mozilla but Ubuntu still provide it, and Chromium Browser is version 15 into the repository because the older release aren't supported anymore by chromium team.

What extensions are you using?

The big philosophical question here is should operating system vendors/users have to upgrade their web browsers to a newer version, or should web sites be written to support older browsers which are still supported by the browser's manufacturer (I'm not suggesting web sites support Firefox 3.0 which is no longer supported by Mozilla)? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/873700 Title: Firefox is too old on Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/873700/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I cant reproduce this here on Firefox 3.6.23 on Ubuntu LTS 10.04.3, although the background is a little wrong.
