Firefox and Thunderbird 10.0 released

Mozilla Wiki

We’re still tracking issues for a possible 9.0.2
You can see them @ https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases/Firefox_9/RRRT
Note we are doing a staggered / slow rollout
We were manual-update only initially. This is why < 3 million people got 9.0 instead of 9.0.1
We unthrottled automatic updates for the past week (only offering to 10% of Fx checking for updates)
Now that we are at ~15 million 9.0.1 users we have turned off automatic updates again for a bit to look at data
If you see any news articles about slow Firefox 9 uptake, please email press or release-drivers so we can let the author know what is really going on
Probably going to do something similar for releases in the future as well, more details will be sent to release-drivers
We aren't in the Amazon Appstore anymore, and we missed the holiday season for the Kindle Fire (boo). Details are in bug 713777

Next source migration is 2012-01-31

10 years ago a browser was born.

Its name was Internet Explorer 6. Now that we’re in 2012, in an era of modern web standards, it’s time to say goodbye.

Meanwhile rival Google has been forced into an embarrassing climbdown on the promotion of its Chrome browser.

It has downgraded Chrome in its search listings after the discovery that a marketing campaign paid bloggers to promote a video about it.

The search giant has distanced itself from the campaign, blaming third-party marketing firm Essence Digital.

IEBlog

October 2011 Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer is now available via Windows Update. This security update resolves eight privately reported vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer. The most severe vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user views a specially crafted Web page using Internet Explorer. An attacker who successfully exploited any of these vulnerabilities could gain the same user rights as the local user. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less affected than users who operate with administrative user rights. This security update is rated Critical for Internet Explorer on Windows clients and Moderate for Internet Explorer on Windows servers. For more information, see the full bulletin.

Update Fatigue. In the past we have been very careful to make sure people know something is changing with their web browser before it changes. We did this to make sure people are aware and in control of what’s happening to their environment. Our position was to err on the side of user notification. Today people are telling us — loudly — that the notifications are irritating and that a silent update process is important. This work is underway. The first set of improvements should appear in the next Firefox release, with more improvements appearing in the next few months. Also, one main reason people are notified of updates is due to incompatible add-ons which will be addressed by the work on add-on compatibility. More details can be found in this blog post: http://www.brianbondy.com/blog/id/125/mozilla-firefox-and-silent-updates
