I have never had issues with Firefox and school when suddenly, 7.01 is released and we're told by the school that it is incompatible and in fact I confirmed that. My issue is similar and yet different but I found no discussion that applies. I guess I'm confused how it is that FF4 and FF6 are not considered major releases (and yet there's 'dot' releases in there for 3, etc.) and that's exactly what I want to test against, hence why I tried that resource to get what I need. I had expected the '' to have as you said "the most recent update to each major release". (I really want to like the mac, but stuff like this drives me nuts) It just seems very inconsistent, what exactly is the criteria for a 'major release' if it isn't the first (leftmost) digit of the version number?Īnyway, off to bang my head against the 'mac way' of doing things and see if can figure out why the PC has no difficulty at all browsing to the FTP site but a browser on the mac refuses to do so.

When the new extended support release plan is set up, there will be a new major version supported along-side the regular releases with minor updates in the way 3.6 is right now. As such, Firefox 4, 5, & 6, are not supported anymore, while 7 is current and 3.6 is still supported. With the new rapid release model, each new major version is considered a direct update to the previous, with no support for old versions.
