They're on a six-week development cycle now.

The betas go to 7 today, Aurora goes to 8, and I think Nightly goes to 9.

Is there a way to check compatibility before upgrading? Other than checking the page for each plugin individually, obviously.

Not really, no.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't tell you until halfway through the install process.

Because when 4 came out I didn't really wanna part with my addons. Than next thing I know there's 5 and now 6.

Mainly just never got around to upgrading. I don't really see the need to I mean 3 works just fine.

yeah really

if they're just updating html5 compatibility or security crap, I feel like they can count like this

4.0.1, 4.0.2, 4.0.3, etc

instead of

4, 5, 6, 7, 8

I'd also like to see some release notes that aren't copy/pasta from when 4.0 came out

I'm sure there is a reason why Firefox's version number keeps going up so quickly.

Google Chrome. It came around in 2008, and it's already at what, version 13? Firefox is at 6! Higher numbers = better and newer, right?

Serious competition from Chrome

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers#StatCounter_.28July_2008_to_present.29

Chrome will pass it within a matter of months and I'm sure Firefox is feeling the heat.
