Downgrade? Hah! The mozilla developers don't believe in such things. Once you've tried it once, you're screwed. For example, it changes your cookie file from plain text to an sqlite db. Bummer if (like me) your home directory is NFS mounted across machines with a mix of FF1, 2 and 3. The first time you try FF3, you can't then go back to older versions without loss of data :-( Unix is sadly very much a second class citizen in the mozilla world, which seems very much focused on single user machines like Windows.

WTF? Posted Jun 20, 2008 8:55 UTC (Fri) by Los__D (subscriber, #15263) [Link] How in the world does an upgrade changing file format have _ANYTHING_ to do with Unix being a second class citizen? Do you also run around screaming "2nd class citizen!!!", when X updates it's configuration files? When Evolution do? When Postfix do? When g++ changes ABI?
