Re: Removing Firefox Version Number

The stupidity of this move is astounding... Applications are NOT = to
Websites... no matter if the application is used to access a website!

Plenty of good reasons AGAINST it have already been brought up, and
not ONE SINGLE REASONABLE reason has been brought up FOR it...
To that end, the ONLY thing I get from reading all 3 pages of this
discussion and the pages of for the bug tracker, is that Asa Dotzler &
Co has it set in his/her mind and will NOT be swayed, no matter how
much common sense you throw at him/her.
I can in all honesty say that if I had to compare each and every one
of his comments to something, it would be of hitler replying to anyone
trying to convince him AGAINST his "perfect" race (sans having them
killed). <- Yes, I made that comment SPECIFICALLY to UNDERLINE the
literal tone in each and every reply to valid reasons AGAINST this
absurd move!*

To make a long story short, the decision has basically been made, and
the answer to all of us is! : Go fu** yourself's! Its happening (TM)!


Now as someone who currently works freelance on PC's and contract work
for company's and single customers, I find this move very insulting
for troubleshooting, this is invaluable, for compatibility of either
website or in-use add-on, its also invaluable. The statement was made
to "move" it elsewhere, I just cant fathom a good reason why, hell, if
you where to ask me or the people I deal with daily, they would ask
for a comparison to be added, and by that I mean: "You are currently
running Firefox v5.0.1, the latest version of Firefox is v7.5.2, you
are currently 4 release's behind the latest version: UPDATE NOW!" On
the flip side of this all, I have also dealt with LOTS of customers
(business and consumer) whose Firefox just wont auto-update, no rhyme/
reason, just sometimes it wont, go through the process yourself and it
works fine, but next time you check, its still at the version you
manually updated it to last time!

I know this will be ignored, but whatever, its how business's work,
ignore the ones using their product on a larger scale/ratio then
anyone in the company or in the flawed "survey's" they use.



*To anyone undoubtedly offended by this comment, I am very sorry, as
someone who liked history and even was unmanly (in our current world
views of what makes a person manly) enough to cry upon reading most of
the tragic events that had occurred in history, I could think of no
other comparison that detailed the blind idealism that I see
progressing here.
