Firefox Borrows Google’s Chrome Update Procedure

The copycats! LOL

 

LOL, for some reason i find this funny.
Hahaha Mozilla has been in a decline in recent years IMO.

 

Some people just love to whine over dumb things.

 

Does your personal experience or knowledge back this up? From my limited experience, Firefox is nowhere near emulating Google Chrome's update process.

(BTW, I don't know what you find worthwhile in the source you repeatedly cite.)

Of course, if the whole purpose was a light-hearted comment or something ironic then never mind

 

NOW you're getting it!!! I'm glad you haven't had your humour/irony glands removed Vasa1.

I will bet good money you are not an American!

 

You are aware that some of the best American comedians are Canadian, aren't you?

 

One would think the UI looked more like Opera, nevermind the update process. Yet I haven't seen much complaining about that, *shrug*.

 

That doesn't explain William Shatner ...

 

I had a play about with one of the Fx 4 betas & you can have the tabs 'on top' Chrome style or more like the traditional UI. In fact I thought the UI was more minimised with the tabs on the bottom. I agree Fx is getting a little Opera-ish though.

 

If I may ...

The original post dealt with the update process. Now we seem to have segued into UI. I'm confused.

 

To be fair I thought my last post was pretty self explanatory. It should *hopefully* state how I'm suprised that someone would take notice to something as minor as updating procedure which isn't all that similar, yet not take as much notice to UI, which you know, is kinda major.

 

IMHO... I don't care if Mozilla copies how green monkies with pink polka dots update, as long as it can be manually controlled. I don't want any software I run to only have auto updating!

 

Does it auto-update in the background?
Hopefully not, or else I'll have to disable that. Last thing I need is another process continuously wasting resources.

 

J_L, I'm pretty sure you know the answer.

 

I'm pretty sure I don't. If I did, why would I ask the question?

 

Yes it does auto update i guess, it says it's the same as Chrome and Chome updates automatically on startup.

 

You have doubts after Tools > Options > Advanced > Update?

 

you can disable the auto update easily.

maybe they copied chrome or opera or whoever but imo i love the new interface and i like being able to click to see if there is a update since i always turn off all automatic updates except virus defs. windows included. not at all hard imo to click about and see if there is a update.

in my ui i have removed the search bar the feedback button and moved the rest around in fact to be more similar to my other browsers for me it just makes it easier when everything is in the same spot to click. but i personally hated ff 3.6 so i ditched it only to go back with 4 now. just hope they dont go nuts changing things.

 

Oh, I see. I meant running in the background after Firefox is closed though.

Anyhow, it's now disabled.
