After much consideration, I have decided that NAMFox 1.1 (the next planned release of NAMFox) will run ONLY on Firefox 3 and above.

I make this choice for a couple of reasons. The first is that there are a lot of pieces that the Mozilla team have exposed in Firefox 3 that allow NAMFox to work more quickly and more reliably than ever before. Since my job as a NAMFox developer is to provide you with a rich and gratifying experience, I feel that you should be able to take advantage of these features as quickly as possible.

The second is that Mozilla has stopped security and stability support for Firefox 2 as of December 2008 and strongly advocate that you upgrade to Firefox 3 to continue receiving this support. The same support stopped for Firefox 1.5 in May 2007.

If you are still running an older version of Firefox, and you do not want to upgrade to Firefox 3, then you will still be able to run NAMFox 1.0.5. Although, I do strongly recommend you upgrade.


Comments, feedback, complaints, threats? I'm especially interested in the reasons that folks don't want to upgrade to Firefox 3.
