They’re still using Firefox 3.0 or actually even 2.0.

It’s only the power users who care about getting the latest and greatest on release day. For those people, it shouldn’t be so much trouble to copy and paste one line into the terminal to get the official precompiled binary “installed.” I really don’t see what the big deal is.

The vast majority of software packages should be adopted for stability and security on production machines. Now if you’re only tinkering, then bleeding edge is just fine. But on the job, it should be stable and stable alone!

A system is only as functional, stable, safe and secure as the admin who choses wisely. A vast majority of these complaints can be resolved with a little common sense and some patience.

Both seem to be in gravely short supply, it seems.
