Re: Removing Firefox Version Number

I just want to say am not Mozilla developer or part of,  I am just regular Firefox  user and I really like Firefox. When I first heard that they are removing version number from Firefox About window, my reaction was just like most of you guys. Then after reading some more info in this  Bug, it is more reasonable to me.

Mozilla and UX team is doing what they think is best for Firefox, obviously they have discussed all this things you complain about. And they made  their  decision.  You started complaining that Mozilla is not listening community anymore. You must understand that we (advanced users, developers, whatever) are not majority of Firefox user base .  Version number is important to us. I am sure that most of regular Firefox user won’t complain about this at all. They can search in Google and find out how to check their version number.
I am pretty sure that it will be so easy to you to find, restartless addon which will give your version number in about window.
 Just like you I really care about version number, and I always want to check which version I am running even though I now it already.  You can find that in Troubleshooting Information which is just 2 click away just like about window there is no difference.
If you really care about version in about window that  much just install addon, if don’t   you will get used to it after some time. 

Yes Mozilla should discuss about their decisions  with community, but Firefox should not stop changing just because many user don’t like change. People will always complain about  changes because they are always  hard to accept. But if they didn’t happen we would  still use old Internet Explorer.
