I tend to agree. Rather than performance upgrades, I would like to see operation upgrades... like continuing to run. Since upgrading to to the latest 4 build it seems that I have been updating information to their crash reporter overnight than I have updating my status to a social network.

Seems the internet kingdom is starting to take on a 'new' venture that was used back in the late 70s, early 80s in advertising that I liked to call the "New & Improved Era".

Could be a 'penis envy' complex of a similar nature. I could care less if its name was "Turd" just make the damn thing work.

No, but I do believe Mozilla said to expect FF7 by end of the year.
