Firefox 3.6 Support Ends April 2012 187

An anonymous reader writes "Mozilla for some time after switching to the rapid release process talked about releasing Extended Support Releases that would give companies and organizations some breathing space in the race to test and deploy new browser versions. With the first ESR release (which will be Firefox 10), comes the Firefox 3.6 end of life announcement. Firefox 3.6 users will receive update notifications in April to update the browser to the latest stable version by then."

    That IS weird, considering they've rolled out only minor updates and UI problems since 3.6. I'm puzzled that the requirements would have changed at all.

    I believe you'll find the new randomly-positioned status bar takes a lot more RAM and CPU than the old one because it has to continually work out which part of the screen you're trying to read and then ensure it always pops up on top of it.
