Firefox 30.0

Post by BobH »

Just received the notice and upgraded. Unlike Hans, I have not looked into the changes.

Where is Hans, anyway? Haven't seen a post from him in days. I hope that means he's on holiday and enjoying himself so much he doesn't have time for us.

I'm not :stampfoot: going through that again ... :grin:

Besides, I only just upgraded to version 1 of Xanadu

Firefox gets a new version every 6 weeks (more or less): see https://wiki.mozilla.org/RapidRelease/Calendar" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.
Best wishes,
Hans

Sounds about right, that would make FF about 15 years old.
