Is it a 100% Cocoa app now that supports Services? If not, won’t bother.

“Apple stopped supporting non-Intel Macs a few years back…therefore, many application developers followed suit…why would any application developer continue to support non-Intel Macs when even Apple does not support them?”

In that case, Firefox shouldn’t try to update the PPC version.

That Warragul above states that he had to fish the old version out of trash means that FF did try to update a PPC version with one which doesn’t work.

On the Windows front, Firefox has reverted to a previous behavioiur of downloading and trying to install the update
from a non-privileged account. They had addressed this one in a previous release, but the old and wrong behaviour is back again.

When was the last time you saw a worthy update from Apple past Mac OS X 10.5.8? =)

“The now standardized OS X Lion full-screen button” does a horrible job with multiple screens as it blanks out the other screens and yet it has no option of expanding the window onto them. In general multiscreen/multidesktop support in Lion has been a step back from Snow Leopard and this is kind of ridiculous.

… and it won’t work on my GF’s PPC iMac.
I realize it’s been a while since the Intel Macs arrived but why do Firefox, Skype et al practically force us to download new versions that aren’t for our platform of choice? Naturally, they aren’t Universal and I have to go fishing the older version out of the Trash – if I’m lucky.

Swiping left and right with 2 fingers on OS X Lion as in Safari now works in this browser.

Another Firefox yawn, wonder how many plug-ins are broken with this release to go with the broken Growl notifications? Firefox lost me at version 9 when for what seemed like the 4th version in a row too many of my favorite plug-ins stopped working.

Yeah I know the developer needs to make the plug-in compatible, but if there weren`t releases ever month, it would be easier for them to keep up with the changes.

I can’t believe they’re calling this Firefox 10… I mean it’s a great browser but these are minor changes.
