Firefox trying to catch up to IE in version numbers?

So, you are running linux with some Realtek hardware. I'll make sure never to do that. i've had enough problems with windows 7. I first changed everything to be more like XP and had to uninstall the raid storage thingy cause it was causing CPU spikes.

Anyway about browsers. I use Opera most of the time, FF and IE are for testing.

actually, it seems to be more-or-less the particular model. I was just lucky.

Their are number of browsers on the internet. It is like a race where every browser wants to be first in terms of place. So they are trying new things everyday and add it with the name of new version.

Or something like that? Why is Firefox jumping through versions so quickly? I feel like I just installed version 4 a few weeks ago, and now it's on version 6. (I am running 5 now, but that was an automatic update so I didn't notice it much.)
Has anyone else noticed how oddly fast it's moving?

For what I know is quite open source ... so maybe a lot of people are getting and upgrading it with new ideas.

I wish I knew why they were flying through the versions so quickly. Due to a couple of buggy upgrades in Firefox, I gave up and have gone to using Chrome. I ended up originally switching to Firefox because IE had a buggy version. I wish they'd figure it out and stop putting out versions that crash and freeze so much.

And I have windows 7

I have never had an issue yet
