I'm using Firefox 5.0.1, I just clicked "Check for updates" and it said I'm up-to-date.
Shouldn't 6 come out first? Isn't it too early to talk about 7?
I think this is bad marketing from Mozilla, they're totally confusing people.

So basically Firefox 6, 7 and 8 have already "come out" and you can use them if you're willing to run beta or alpha software. (In my experience, Aurora is already very stable, much more so than normal alpha software) The versions advance in a 6 weeks cycle.
I'm guessing the above has been explained about 1000 times when Firefox 5 came out soon after 4, anyway.
no more of this "i'm going to stick with version 3.6 for now because i prefer that" nonsense. there is only up-to-date and outdated. yeah, it's a subtle and mostly psychological difference, but it is a difference.
There has to be a line drawn - where do you draw it? If 5.0.1 came out yesterday, do you not support someone who is running 4.8 which came out 3 weeks ago?
Update: It appears that the explicit memory calculated for Firefox 7 on Mac was artificially low. This explains the slight increase in Firefox 8. If you’re interested you can read further details on Bugzilla.
