Mozilla aggressively asks older Firefox users to update
Found on CNet News on Wednesday, 10 March 2010
As of Thursday, users of older Firefox versions will start seeing a pop-up encouraging them to upgrade. The window will come with three choices: Ask Later, No Thanks, or Get the New Version. The pop-up will appear after 60 seconds of keyboard inactivity, which Mozilla called a courtesy toward users and their workflows.
In the press release announcing the push, Mozilla stated that more than 90 percent of Firefox add-ons are compatible with Firefox 3.6.
Which is pretty much useless if the plugins you are using are part of the remaining 10%. Anway, I'm going to stick with 3.0 for now; and perhaps even for longer than planned, since I don't really like the idea of being constantly bothered by the browser. With this, FireFox effectively turns into nagware; and that is very annoying.
