Mozilla believes that the  user\u2019s choice of web browser matters, and is extremely proud of how many  people have chosen to use Firefox.<\/p>\n<p>Starting today, users running older versions of Firefox will be  offered the choice of upgrading to Firefox 3.6. We\u2019re presenting this  upgrade offer for our users who may not realize that a new version is  available:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/developer.mozilla.org\/devnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/3.5-to-3.6-major-update.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Firefox 3.6 Major Update Offer\" src=\"http:\/\/developer.mozilla.org\/devnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/3.5-to-3.6-major-update.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"467\" height=\"412\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As always, users will be able to choose between:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>deferring the decision for 24 hours (\u201cAsk Later\u201d),<\/li>\n<li>declining the offer (\u201cNo Thanks\u201d), or<\/li>\n<li>accepting the free upgrade (\u201cGet the New Version\u201d).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The offer screen will only appear after 60 seconds of keyboard   inactivity to ensure we don\u2019t get in the way of anyone\u2019s activities. If a  user declines the offer and later regrets that choice, they\u2019ll be able  to get it again simply by selecting \u201cCheck for Updates\u201d from the \u201cHelp\u201d  menu.<\/p>\n<p>Firefox 3.6 has already been chosen over 100,000,000 times by users,  and we\u2019re proud to offer it to the remaining Firefox user base. It\u2019s  fast, stable, compatible with over 90% of the <a href=\"http:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/\">thousands of Firefox Add-ons<\/a>, and  contains new features such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.getpersonas.com\/\">lightweight  themes<\/a> and plugin version checking.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editor\u2019s note: On Mar 11, Mozilla announced over 100,000,000 downloads of Firefox 3.6 to date.
