eWeek 的文章，指出了一些 Firefox 确实存在的问题

个人认为有些地方的确需要改进，首先下载服务器不能满足需要。还是采用 BT 方式比较好，就是不知道是否安全。

一个这么几兆的软件要用BT下载？至于么？

用BT下载也不错啊。但是文件太小，怕没兴趣做种子。
 Mozilla.org 只是为了方便统计下载数， Mozcn.org Moztw.org Mozilla.org.cn 和 Mozilla-China.org 的下载都是联结到 Mozilla.org 的

你们不觉得第二页的内容更值得关注么？
It's not just Windows users who are facing a rocky upgrade route: Firefox 1.0.1 wasn't available for Linux and Mac users at all until several days later.

You would hope that as Firefox popularity grows by leaps and bounds, these kind of problems would be fixed. I wish I could be so optimistic.

Mike Connor, a core Firefox developer, writes in his blog, "In nearly three years, we haven't built up a community of hackers around Firefox, for a myriad of reasons, and now I think we're in trouble. Of the six people who can actually review in Firefox, four are AWOL, and one doesn't do a lot of reviews. And I'm on the verge of just walking away indefinitely, since it feels like I'm the only person who cares enough to make it an issue."

If Firefox's reviewing developers, the key people of any open-source project, have burned out on the project, Firefox is in a lot of trouble.

Forget about trying to get new and better versions out. They're not going to be able to keep up on security fixes and bugs. For example, it used to be that if you ran Firefox you never saw annoying pop-up ad windows.

That was then. This is now.

Today, instead of pop-ups, there are sites that feed you pop-unders: advertising windows that deploy under your current Web browser window, which you then see when you close your window.

It's annoying, it needs to be fixed, and if Connor is correct, I don't see that happening anytime soon. A Firefox extension, Adblock, can make the pop-under problem more manageable, but you must set it up manually for it to work.

eWEEK.com Special Report: Advances in Web Browsers

Forget about Microsoft coming out with IE 7 to challenge Firefox. If Firefox rots from the inside out—the way so many other programs, like the original Netscape browser, did—then it's not going anywhere much beyond where it is now

是挺值得考虑的，可是他们那么高层次的决策，实在离最终用户太远，而且我们
也作不了什么

提出的主要是一些开发的问题,特别是针对Mike Connor的blog.
Mike Connor提的这个问题实际上是老问题了,不止是Firefox,Mozilla以前就有这个问题.super reviewer就那么几个人,有几个还特别不responsible,一个补丁request review一年多才有人受理是常事.着急的补丁一定要一天一封信的催着,比写补丁还累人.

说实在的，很少有软件让我这么兴奋的。fx要是半途而废那我就不止是遗憾了，简直痛心……这个rediscover you web真不是瞎说啊！

用BT有时并不是因为软件大，而是因为下载流量太大，服务器有可能承受不住。
以前FOOBAR2000发布新版本时，有时就用BT的.....它的体积可比FF小得多。

虽然才 4.7 兆，2500 万用户同时更新安全补丁的时候就很可怕了，何况目前才 7% 的占有率。

或者设置镜像站，在 FF 中可以设置更新服务器为好。或者由 Mozilla 的服务器自动分配重定向，不过这种还是容易给定向到连接困难的服务器去。

各大软件站都有下载的，也未必所有人都会去官方更新。
Firefox不是世界上下载量最大的软件，但并没有很多
软件是采用BT（或者广义来说p2p）的方式官方发布的。

这世界永远都不缺少悲观主义者与乐观主义者。
FF也不缺！！

……但并没有很多
软件是采用BT（或者广义来说p2p）的方式官方发布的。

国产的网络游戏倒很喜欢用BT方式发布，BT应该是可以节省不少服务器资源。

最好采取景象~~~~~~~~~~~~
方便的多……
