But the downside is that Mozilla is forcing everyone still using their browser to be alpha/beta testers by not keeping a "stable" version of the software supported. Why in the world the Mozilla folk think going to a rapid release system is going to win back their lost "mindshare" (FF usage: down. chrome usage: up) is beyond me. They've dumbed down the UI to the point where I had to regularly use about:config to set things & their certificate handling is so horrible I've gone back to using IE at work. So ok, FF is free & it's my choice to use it or not. I've already chosen IE over FF, so no issue there. But I still like SM & it remains to be seen just how badly SM is going to get screwed over by having to follow the FF rapid release model.
