I use SeaMonkey most of the time and Firefox occasionally. I try never
to use IE.
The web browser and email client are critically important to me, and I
think the majority of users would agree.
Since Firefox and SeaMonkey embarked on their accelerated release
schedule, we've seen several updates incorporating many significant
behavioral changes which are causing grief to many users. Along with
this we are being encouraged to upgrade promptly because that's the only
way to get the latest security patches. Why the big hurry all of a sudden?
Changes in program behavior should be fully documented in advance of an
upgrade. Users who prefer the behavior of the old version should be
given the option to retain it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
The end user should not be forced to be the guinea pig whose feedback
becomes the quality control for these programs. Please return to the
former more careful release strategy.
I worked as an electrical engineer for Motorola for many years. All too
often, we had products being sold before they were designed and
unrelenting pressure to push them out the door. "There's never time to
do it right, but there's always time to do it over" was the cynical
opinion of many of my colleagues. It seems like the software industry is
the same way.
