Frequent Firefox upgrades are killing Firefox

On the evening of January 1, July 10, Beijing time, Mozilla developers Jono DiCarlo said on Monday that frequent upgrades are killing Firefox browsers.

According to DiCarlo, frequent upgrades are tolerable. The key is that Mozilla treats the upgrade in a very rough way. "The irony is that Mozilla treats frequent upgrades very roughly, making Firefox look like a poor Chrome version," said dicaro. "

Developers complain that Firefox has been upgraded too frequently

Dicaro also said: "Firefox constantly pushes updates to users. Some users do not need updates at all, which leads many users to switch to Chrome, which is exactly what Mozilla does not want to see ."

According to DiCarlo, not all updates are unnecessary. Security Updates and patches are essential. The key is that the upgrade methods provided by Mozilla make users feel uncomfortable.

When pushing updates to users, Mozilla always provides an intrusive dialog box that directly interferes with users' work. This causes many users to switch to other browsers.

Even worse, Mozilla's user interface designers often use frequent upgrades to change the Firefox interface, which further increases the complexity of the problem and brings confusion to users.
