This change has been made in Firefox 3.6.6, which was released today as an automatic update for all users. To address this, we increased the amount of time Firefox waits for a plugin to respond before terminating it from 10 to 45 seconds. For these users the default timeout of 10 seconds was too short. These changes were tested with a beta audience of close to one million users.įollowing the release of Firefox 3.6.4 we heard from some users, mainly those using older computers, that they sometimes expect longer periods of non-responsiveness from plugins, especially with games. When a plugin freezes, making the whole browser unresponsive, Firefox 3.6.4 terminates the unresponsive plugin after waiting 10 seconds. When a plugin crashes, users can reload the Web page to restart the plugin and continue browsing.

Secondly, people don't like UI changes for the sake of UI changes. First reason, there's no compelling feature or reason driving people to move on. And people are clinging onto Firefox 3.6 for the same reasons that they are clinging onto XP. that particular version that people love and will cling on to for dear life. Even performance is nothing to scream about.įirefox 3.6 is Mozilla's Windows XP. If these people haven't been jazzed enough by the features in Firefox 4, 5, 6 and 7, there's not an awful lot in Firefox 8 to catch the eye.

This isn't the first time that Mozilla has done this, and once again users will be free to decline the upgrade notification. Mozilla is also getting ready to send an update notification to Firefox 3.6 users giving them the opportunity to upgrade. Mozilla has outlined plans to offer enterprise users a special version ESR ( Extended Support Release) of Firefox that would have a more relaxed 42-week update cycle, but so far no ESR browser has materialized. Given this, sticking with version 3.6 makes a lot of sense. It's simply too much to ask enterprise users to to test a new browser every six weeks, especially when there isn't much to appeal to enterprise users in those releases. For business users, this aggressive release cycle is too much to have to deal with (because enterprise likes to test things before releasing them). Sure, some add-ons might break, and people might have to spend a few minutes scratching their heads trying to find things that have moved, but none of this is a deal breaker. In the home environment, this is not a big problem. Considering that Mozilla released Firefox 4.0 more than six months ago (March 22, 2011), it's holding its ground incredibly well.įirefox 3.6 was the last 'traditional' release of the browser before Mozilla switched to a rapid release cycle that sees a new version making an appearance every 6 weeks. Firefox 6 usage by comparison has fallen to 2.35%. Here are worldwide usage share figures from StatCounter for the past 7 days:Īccording to the data, Firefox 3.6 still commands a 5.92% usage share, putting it at position number 5, behind IE 8 (24.23%), Chrome 15 (21.93%), Firefox 7 (14.68%) and IE 9 (9.95%). But despite this aggressive upgrade schedule, Mozilla is having a hard time convincing Firefox 3.6 users to upgrade. Six weeks following the release of Firefox 7.0, Mozilla has unleashed Firefox 8.0.
