It's easier to just use the things I'm familiar with.

I keep IE for looking at porn.
Thats an invitation for trouble :(

Fx 1.0.6 should be out really soon, according to the MozillaZine homepage . What was it you were saying, Deus? :rolleyes:

I'll keep waiting for the Suite 1.7.10... ;)

I wonder if all the jesus-on-wheels folks who install Firefox on every computer they come into contact with also return to the scene of the crime every time a new version comes out.

and in 1.1+ the updating will be no longer be a reinstall.

Ah, well that helps then, but so far I've never seen it go off aside from for updates on extensions (ie. never for new versions of Firefox itself)? I heard people talking about a new version of Firefox being available for at least a week before I bothered to update it manually, and was never prompted about it at all.

Also, lol, updating not being a full reinstall will be a neat feature to look out for. :)

Edit: Just did some research, maybe it wasn't quite a week? Saw this:

At the moment Firefox's auto-update mechanism isn't showing the update but I remember reading that they are delaying the update notification by a couple of days so that they can handle the load.
If that's the case, I'm not at all sure that I agree with that policy, despite the practicality behind it.

hmm... it came up with a red arrow for 1.04. But none for 1.05, I guess it wasn't critical enough.
