Sorry mozilla, but the mozilla is on wrong way using the version to
fight against chrome.
At the moment the google chrome is the best browser software to
navegate to the web, and isn't growing fast the version will bring
back the users to firefox.
We need do a excelent software, more excelent than google chrome.

4 pending problems on Firefox you have to focus to solve.
1 - focus on HTML5 features on Firefox, HTML5 on Firefox poor against
the chrome version 12 { take a looke, firefox 6 takes 288 points on
html5 test* against 327 points from chrome 12 (* http://html5test.com
)  }
2- google chrome has task manager to tab, CHROME NEVE BREACKS WITH
THAT, flash never crash with it (take a look
http://tothepc.com/img/2010/03/chrome-task-manager.png )
3 - chrome is more minimalist layout of the market ( I become happy to
this our chance to change our new mockop to  the possiblem new layout
to firefox 7 http://www.programactrlaltdel.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Mockup_1.png
)
4 - Firefox browser is the only incomplete in Acid3test*  ( *
http://acid3.acidtests.org/ Firefox takes 97/100  , the chrome, opera
and safari have 100% of the acid3 test for years)
