Mozilla prepares final resting place for Firefox 2
PC World reports that means the final version of Firefox 2 will probably be Firefox 2.0.0.19. The current version is 2.0.0.17, so we can likely expect two more updates before Firefox 2 goes off to that big software depot in the sky. Or you know, sticks around on millions of computers belonging to people who refuse to update to Firefox 3 for one reason or another.
Mozilla says that more than two thirds of Firefox users have already upgraded.

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

"The company typically offers support for older browsers for about 6 months after a new version is released."
Typically...meaning, the transition from ff1 to ff2?

Does this mean PPC OS X isn't getting anymore updates?

I think typically meaning the transition from 1.0.x to 1.5.0.x and 1.5.0.x to 2.0.0.x.

Or perhaps you've never heard of Mozilla, which was around long before FF.

I would upgrade to 3.0 if you guys would fix the bookmarks problem. I suppose you don't have time or inculcation to fix minor problems. Meanwhile I'll stick with 2.0.0.16

I did not upgrade for the bookmarks problem and incompatibility with some of my favorite add ons

@John: you can still use your favourite addons by using the "MR Tech Toolkit" and/or "Nightly Tester Tools" extensions, check/search for both http://addons.mozilla.org/ .
@John/john: what about the bookmarks problem? Do you mean you lost your bookmarks after upgrading to Firefox 3? That's because in Firefox 3 bookmarks are stored in a different way than the HTML format in Firefox 2. To explain why and how and to make Firefox 3 auto imports your Firefox 2 bookmarks (and auto stores as 'Firefox 2' HTML), check these two URLs: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.places.importBookmarksHTML and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML .

The major problem with this is that Asus still haven't released Firefox 3 as an update to the EeePC OS.

FF3 sucks! After 1 week of intense working, I kicked it an downgraded to FF2 !! AddOns which are working great on FF2 either are not available for 3 at all or dont work. Often they even cause the system to hang. To kill FF2 means: Mozilla learned from MS --- same as XP and Vista - no one needs the new system, no one wants it --- so kill the old - and no one even has a chance!
