Re: [LUG] Firefox

Some people have expressed surprise that I am still using Firefox 3.6.17
and have not yet looked at FF v4.[1] So, has anyone on the list moved up
yet? If so some questions please,

Can I have both installed at the same time and then choose which one to
use?

Is there any advantage to moving up if I am happy with my current version?

Will version 3* eventually lose any support?

Normally I feel that if something is working for me leave it alone, but
of course there may be security issues.

Thanks for any help

[1] In my current distro (Mint 10 KDE) FF V4 does not appear in the
repositories.

So, thanks for the replies. I have installed FF4 separately from FF3.6 so that I can run either. So what do I find?

In FF4 there are no plugins installed at all. So no javascript, no flash, nothing.

In FF3.6 there is a whole bunch of addons available. And I did not have to install them when I first set up FF3.6, they were all just there.

So guess which version I am going to use!!
