Tencent Technology News (Compilation / Zhongtao) March 12, Beijing time, according to foreign media reports, starting from Thursday, Firefox browser developer Mozilla sent reminders to older users to urge these users Upgrade to Firefox version 3.6 as soon as possible.

Mozilla released Firefox version 3.6 in mid-January this year. Compared with the older Firefox version 3.0 or 3.5, Firefox version 3.6 integrates the Personas plug-in to facilitate users to easily customize the appearance of Firefox. In addition, Firefox 3.6 has also shortened the startup time and enhanced the security protection function.

Mozilla said that since the release of Firefox version 3.6, it has been downloaded and used by more than 100 million users. Despite this, there are still a large number of users of version 3.0 and 3.5 who have not upgraded to version 3.6. In order to change this situation, starting from Thursday, Mozilla will send upgrade prompt messages to users of older versions of Firefox.

There are three options for this upgrade message, namely "Ask me later", "Not needed" and "Download new version". If the keyboard of the older version of Firefox user is inactive for 60 seconds, the prompt message will be displayed on the user's desktop. Mozilla said that this is done so as not to interrupt the user's ongoing work.

If the user selects "Ask me later", the prompt message will reappear after 24 hours; if the user selects "No", but then wants to upgrade to version 3.6, you can find "Check" in Firefox "Options" New version ", and then download Firefox version 3.6.

Many Firefox version 3.0 and 3.5 users said that the reason why they did not upgrade to version 3.6 in time was because they were worried that the plug-in they were using was not compatible with version 3.6. Mozilla said that currently more than 90% of Firefox plugins are already compatible with version 3.6.
