Extended Firefox support

Matt Rees - Cloud Testing — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 14:40:46 +0000

The support for Firefox in our cross browser and functional testing tool now includes 3.0, 3.5 and 3.6.

We’re working on a version for 4.0 and will be releasing it soon.

Firefox 2.0 drops off the radar

Matt Rees - Cloud Testing — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 16:19:58 +0000

We keep an active check on the browsers that our visitors use, mainly for interest, but today is the first day that there have been no visitors at all using Firefox 2.0.

We guess that in general if you’ve chosen Firefox, you keep up to date (assuming all your favorite add-ins work in the new version).

We still support Firefox 2.0 as part of our cross browser testing service, but are also seeing a drop off of people using it for testing their websites.

Version 3.6 has already risen to 21%, 3.5 is still 42% (probably people waiting for the add-ins to be updated) and 3.0 comes in at 4% – the next one to bite the dust we suspect.

Firefox 3.5.8 and Firefox 3.0.18

Firefox 3.5.8 and Firefox 3.0.18 address three critical flaws in the browsers’ Gecko rendering engines, the HTML parsers, and their implementations of web worker, an enhanced scripting functionality that lets
site developers shift JavaScript computations to a background thread to reduce the performance hit on Firefox’s user interface. The fixes are already in the 3.6 release.

Cloud Testing has updated it’s agents with the latest versions.
