If it didn't, they could have used a date-based version format.

you can get it instantly on linux if you download their tarball and unpack somewhere on your home, as it auto-updates from that point
it's annoying though as it constantly bugs you to restart, better to rely on your distro repos and do it all at once

So much for "Linux is freedom"

I would almost prefer that, then you could see from just a glance when a version was released.

He doesn't know that Mozilla provide direct downloads for their Linux port on their website kek.
>>
>>110287187
but if you have it installed on WIndows it won't prompt you to update until tomorrow which is the same time most up to date distros get it

You can make it stop doing that by adding a policies.json file with
{
"policies": {
"ManualAppUpdateOnly": true
}
}
to /home/user/.../firefox/distribution/ folder. Never been nagged to update since adding that.

>Mini Window lets you move a tab or a selected part of a page into an always-on-top window while you browse. We’d appreciate your feedback on Mozilla Connect as we develop and improve this early version of the feature.

this actually sounds kind of cool, assuming it work son background tabs. all the other 30,000 patch notes are gay tho

Yeah but do you download firefox again each time there's a new version? It's going to be there tomorrow what's the rush.

It's true though if you use repos and not the tarball it's not available yet. Mozilla has an official repo for Debian and Fedora so I guess it's not officially released yet? As someone else said there's not even release notes yet. You'd have to be stalking Firefox releases to catch wind of this just to make this thread making fun of Linux users which isn't even completely accurate.

Chrome number started going up faster so we need number to go up fast too
