I love Firefox but I also love my Delicious Bookmarks. Delicious just has the best bookmark scheme ever. Unfortunately Delicious seems unable or unwilling to keep up with the rapid Firefox update cycle. So I’m stuck at version 15.
So I miss out on all the new Bells and Whistles. Sad to say.
Firefox Rapid Release, or how to commit browser suicide.
I am still using FF 15, because later versions create more conflicts with add-ons/extensions and external programs. Later additions still have problems with Adobe Flash.
FF become more headache than it is worth. It seems to be in permanent beta testing and the only changes seem to create new problems.

It tried the EAS version (17). It worked somewhat, but still had problems with Flash.

The new browser release includes fixes for 14 security advisories and bakes in new features for users.
If it's a cake or batch of cookies, things can be baked in; if it's a piece of software that didn't go into an oven at thus and such many degrees for a certain amount of time, the verb "bake" is entirely out of place. I first encountered features supposedly "baked into" software in 1992 or 1993. It was a stupid way to introduce jibber-jabber about features then, and it's even stupider these many years later.
Copying and pasting shop-worn, witless cliches is to creativity as biting one's finger nails is to dressing up.
They need to fix the CPU hogging.
How will this effect us oddballs who use Mozilla’s Sea Monkey package?
It’s kind of quirky (I’ve noticed that Adobe Flash incompatibility issue too with V. 2.17.1) especially on the e mail side, but having tried several alternatives have found it to be the lessor of several quirkbucket programs.
Kind of like voting Republican...
But at least it’s still “free”, and cyber beggars can’t be too choosy, can we?
Is this “improvement” going to translate over into SM?

A lot of Mozilla geeks and I suspect a number of their Employees and Techs hang out there and might have something interesting to add.
