Decisions around the Mozilla's Firefox browser version 4.0 does not appear to have been digested by everyone, the opportunity to highlight Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Last week we learned that two months after its release, Firefox 4 was already considered obsolete by the Mozilla Foundation. Asa Dotzler, to coordinate the community, in fact reported on the official thread of developers, "there have been updates for Firefox 4.0.x and there will be perhaps more if a fault critical security needs to be addressed urgently. " He said this would be a fix and not provided "the security update planned for Firefox 4 Firefox is 5".
Faced with such remarks John Walicki, head of technology in the office of director of communications at IBM, published a commentary on the ticket of a consultant specialist in Firefox. He estimated then that the decision to Mozilla is the effect of a "punch in the belly." Daniel Glazman, formerly responsible for developing Mozilla Composer, NVU software founder and member of the W3C CSS Working Group, shares the same opinions, criticizing the new round of development of Firefox. Asa Dotzler Mozilla countered that records every day 2 million downloads from regular users, while the share of companies deploying Firefox is "a drop, a fraction of a fraction of 1% of our user base ". He added: "The business world has never been one of our businesses."
Taking advantage of this debate Ari Bixhorn, Director of Internet Explorer at Microsoft, said the commitments from the publisher vis-à-vis business. In an open letter to John Walicki, he admits to being interested in a migration from IE to Firefox from IBM. He said while the company has always been and always will be an important business market for Microsoft. He also wishes to clarify that the support provided to the browser is consistent with the operating system. In this case, IE9 will be supported until January 2020.
