Firefox 5 is out. (Why so soon after Firefox 4?) From everything I read about it, it looks like it's just a point release. So...Firefox 4.1 is 5 and then 4.2 will be 6?

I'm trying to get used to Chrome. Resource hog or not, I miss FF.

I gave Chrome another go recently. It's not that it's bad, but I like the Firefox addons that I have. If there is a difference in terms of bloat or load times, I don't see it.

Now I'm trying out IE9. A serious go to see what MS has come up with to compete with Google and FF.

I seem to be updating my FF every two weeks.

I've converted my boss to Firefox. He had us all on IE and I said "you know this is shit, right? I refuse to use it at home", so he let me download Firefox and now everyone's using it.

Isn't he nice?

He is nice. A slow adopter, but nice.

Firefox 6 now.

I finally *get* what tab groups are good for, but have yet to see if you can save them as a collective bookmark (that would be a cool feature). Maybe you can. I dunno. I haven't looked that thoroughly.
