Do you think they've made enough changes to warrant the major build number changing 3 separate times, or do they think that having a big number makes it seem like they're making progress? Or is this just an excuse to get more cakes from Microsoft?
They decided on this insane release cycle/version update that's baffling pretty much everyone. Minor updates, instead of being a subset of a main release, will get their own release number if they fall within the release cycle. Yeah, I don't get it either.
There was also a moment there were Mozilla was talking about removing the version number from the "About" section, so you couldn't easily discern which version you had installed.
Holy crap. I'm still on 3. I had installed 4 at one point, wasn't happy with the changes (I'm a total "I like it the way I know it" guy) and hit the System Restore. I had no idea they'd gone beyond 4! Maybe it's time to suck it up and upgrade, but I'm not sure to what!
It could have just been a way of catching up to Chrome, which is already on version 14. I wouldn't put much stock in the release numbers anyway, but whatever they want to do, fine with me.

Everytime I remove a song from my iTunes library, it asks me if I want to delete the actual file from my hard drive as well. Do I have something special turned on to make it keep asking me that? I thought that was normal.
