Exactly Mr. Jono DiCarlo, who until recently co-founded one of the most popular browsers - Mozilla Firefox. Speak on topic to change the system releases of Firefox, which recently "accelerated" and Chrome chasing numbers. In the design problem was that Firefox was always up to date with the latest standards - to introduce them gradually, but often.
Mr. Jono on his blog (which is currently not stand interest) wrote m.in we all hate updating Firefox. He adds that the accelerated system releases Firefox and killed ruined his reputation. Points out that the main problem is the number of dialog boxes and reminders that poganiają user to the updated browser. By the way, updates are often excluded the incompatible extensions - although it has improved. DiCarlo said that asking people "no person said anything good about the accelerated release of the system" and the system will release a never-ending process of updating for people who do not want to. According to him, for this reason, people are flocking to Chrome, which unlike Firefox can update without any involvement from the user.
- The way in which Google updates Chrome is very, very clever. They realized that the updates are the most difficult thing, so fix the problem at the beginning - before the first version of the browser.
In addition, Mozilla developer was complaining about too frequent changes in the browser interface for no reason. A changing interface with each update your productivity will be lower, because you have to take time to learn the new interface. And that it is better to spend on other things.
However, there is light in the tunnel - Mozilla is working on a solution to the problem. Firefox 15 will bring updates in the background, without further prompting, as in Chrome. However, according to DiCarlo everything that the worst has already happened - a lot of people over to Chrome. People who have had enough, gave up Firefox, and it will be difficult to get them back.
