Maybe a change from Firefox to Iceweasel could be the solution. From my point of view, Mozilla is doing a lot wrong from the release of Firefox 4.0 till today and this could destroy the goal, to deliver a *stable* release.
On the contrary, the new process will create more stable releases if you speak in terms of crash stability. The Firefox 4 release has not been abandoned, but is maintained as the Firefox release series that in the future will just get an update every 6 weeks (not 3 months, it's 6 weeks), with both security fixes and a small amount of feature updates.
Firefox isn´t that bad at all, but I think the new release policy from Mozilla just slam down the distributor´s plans.
It just means that the regular updates are including a small amount of features, but once you swallow that, it fits really fine.
This makes it more difficult for the packagers to deliver a *recent* _and_ *supported* distribution.
No, you just need to deliver the latest release in updates. Previously Mozilla sometimes broke things in "security updates", shipped a pretty large new feature in 3.6.4, and complaints we low to non-existent. Not that we guarantee that we have tested all updates well and they contain a small amount of feature updates as well, you think it's non-acceptable. A strange move in my eyes, driven mostly by fears of bad things, uncertainty of the actual process and doubt that it works.
Maybe a change could be the right way here, but maybe it´s just my personal feeling!?
It's not just your personal feeling, but still I think it's better to work with Mozilla to find a solution and not just run away screaming. Robert Kaiser -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
