Ya Know...

I'm still figuring out when the rules changed for version numbers.

It used to be that a full version number change meant a complete overhaul and visual appearance change.

Now it's, "We have to slap on a new version number or we'll look antiquated." Thankfully they don't charge for firefox or I might start to think they went the way of Valusoft when they bought Mastercook from Sierra: Every year they'd slap a new version number on the same software and sell it to unsuspecting customers as "New and Improved!"

What I see presented here on your pics are neat additional improvements, but none that I would consider giving it a full version number change. Total functionality hasn't changed. The overall appearance of the browser hasn't changed. Looks like a 2.x revision to me.

I guess I myself am too antiquated and ask too much...
