Thread Name: Tech: Firefox Update Policy
Subject: RE: Tech: Firefox Update Policy
Sandra in Sydney - The article (which you can read at the link in the first post) made no distinction for the OS the browser is running under. If Mozilla makes it, and it's named Firefox, the implication is that it's affected.

Artbrooks - I believe Firefox rolls the version number for each update, and the next one scheduled must be V.12 perhaps.

The real question is not what you can choose now. The article implies a change, and the statement about "takes control from the user" suggests your choices may not continue to be as many as you now have.

I can't tell from the articles (there have been a couple since the one linked, but they didn't clarify anything) whether you will continue to have the option to refuse - or postpone - an update, and that's the uncertainty I thought Firefox users might be interested in checking up on.
