Seems faster

Link not working for me, i think the file got removed

FireFox totally messes up the tradition of version number, which is major.minor.release. And that is one good reason why corporations with 10000+ PCs and thousands of apps cannot use FF as the default browser - each major browser upgrade requires careful coordination and testing of web applications. At the rate FF is release "major" versions (or whatever), it's simply not feasible.

But wait!! Firefox 9 will be released early in December so you can download that and have none of your plug-ins work until they release updates for the plug-ins right around the time Firefox 10 comes out in January!

Not only that, but lately almost all the other browsers encounter a website that doesn't render or load properly; I ended up removing firefox from my small business clients, if only because it's a PITA to have to upgrade/test 2 browsers and flash/third party plugins rather than just 1.

Power users can still use Firefox or any other browser if they want, just the portable version set as non-default. We have too many cloud and non-cloud apps that seem to work more reliably/better integration with IE than with other browsers.

For business needs you really need browser reliability & stability. For home use, the other browsers work just fine.

Too little too late as far as I am concerned, I switched when Firefox 5.0 kept crashing on me.
Since then I am much happier with chrome, my only complaints being the lack of customization and the terrible history functionality.
Even so, it's a small price to pay to keep my add-ons functional and my browser stable.

Well if it doesn't crash daily like all the versions since 3.6 for me .. I will be happy..>So far so good.

The release schedule is insane, but it doesn't really affect the home user. I don't get the fuss about add ons either, though I only use noscript and adblock and neither of those have been affected as far as I know...

Interesting that people are switching to Chrome... as that's the kind of release schedule Mozilla actually copied...

Firefox 7 just got way faster and better than previous versions with less memory use on the run, if version 8 doesn't came better than that, I'm just very glad using Firefox 7.

Well I still like Firefox better than all other browsers *shrug*

Got to love the stupid people who get upset over their addons not working. If you weren't illiterate you would know how to use about:config to make it so your addons will always work with new versions. Takes all of 3 seconds.

So far it seems a bit faster, thumbs up

I'm getting a "550 Permission denied" error message. Anyone else having this issue?

@Wendig
I am having the same issue for whatever reasons.

I remember when a major version release was actually interesting. Seems Mozilla don't plan on any more of those and would rather just pretend their point releases are major ones instead,

I get 505 message too.

seems like mozilla withdrew the file from their ftp.

"Improved performance and memory handling when using audio and video elements" - I sure hope so...
