New version of Firefox due to FarmVille

If you are using Firefox, you have probably been asked to upgrade to 3.6.6 over the weekend. You may notice that the list of fixed bugs only has one item.

Yes, the primary motivation behind Firefox 3.6.6 is that 3.6.4 introduced problems for FarmVille players. (A new 10-second timeout for Flash sometimes prevented FarmVille from loading.)

From this we can learn that Firefox developers are not (willing to admit that they are) playing FarmVille. Obligatory critical comment in the bug report:

(I have a few comments about the prevalent anti-FarmVille sentiment, but more about that later.)

One thought on “New version of Firefox due to FarmVille”

  1. I’m actually really glad they fixed it, because Firefox is my favorite browser and the 10-second timeout made it no longer possible to debug while running the debug flash player inside firefox–10 seconds at a breakpoint and the debugger would get killed.
