   They are planning ahead. ''late 2010'' well they have build 3.6 and 3.7? Y if they have not released 3.6, if they allready have a 3.7? This does not make sence to me!

   this is really stupid. the reason a lot of people use firefox is becuase of the add-ons and themes that can enable you to set up firefox however you see fit. they should be spending their time improving its performance, not the UI.

   They *are* working on things to improve its performance. It's not like there are two 16-year-old kids in their parent's basement playing around with GUI layouts. They aren't going to come to market with a revamped version of Firefox and advertise: "Firefox 4.0, now with Glass! Enjoy!

   I'd really, really, really like to see them fix the memory leaks in their existing releases before they work on "improving" the UI. I tried 3.5 but quickly returned to 3.4 because 3.5 WILL NOT SHUT DOWN. What's up with that? Maybe they've fixed this in 3.5.3, I'll go look, but really, how could a bug like that escape testing?

   Let me add that the memory leaks have been there since the Netscape Navigator days and are frankly inexcusable. I'm using the "QuickRestart" add-on to combat the memory leaks. It's amazing to see the drop in memory used -- with the same pages open -- after a Firefox restart.
