I do think that Opera's testing process is a little better than Mozilla's because they haven't done such frequent releases like this. The Opinionated Blogger wrote:

Sure,that means there are many errors, but it also shows that they are constantly trying to fix them. Look at IE and it's countless bugs....few updates here and there.

Firefox is the only browser I know that really takes the stability and security issues very seriously. Nobody's perfect. It takes a lot of guts to accept ones mistakes and adopt the corrective measures immediately. I know of no other company that is constantly making security improvements into its software. Mozilla is one of the few leaders in this excellence attitude. The Internet is like a minefield, full of explosives everywhere. We need a company like Mozilla to take care of the bugs for us before our computers get infected. I totally echo with previous comment.

It looks to me reading your post that it's annoying to get so much updates... I generally keep myself quiet and just let peoples talk, but your blog seems to be gaining attention right now, so here's: 1 - I don't know what operating system you use, but on mine these updates are made automagically, everything get updated whenever there's a new security update. Note that i mentioned it's a security update, not just an usual update. 2 - don't you prefer to get two version of an application if the next one fix a problem? and don't you prefer to get that update as early as possible? A lot of people seems to think it's a shame to publish an application, but i prefer someone saying: "i've got it wrong this time, here's a correction" than: "wait next month we're doing updates on the interface". 3- if you ask yourself: "what are those people that post an update the next day... Couldn't they be more professional?" If by professional you read a paying software company that make four updates a year for no bug fixes but just for SELLING updates, i can understand you feel disappointed... GO FIREFOX! GO!
