Mozilla Corp. is considering dropping support for Mac OS X 10.4 after it ships the successor to Firefox 3.5 in 2010, according to ongoing discussions.
The talk of discontinuing Firefox for the "Tiger" operating system is the second such conversation to go public this month; two weeks ago, developers and executives pondered whether to drop support for older versions of Windows.
In a series of messages on the Mozilla.dev.planning forum, developers resurrected the idea of abandoning Tiger six months after Mozilla launches the follow-on to Firefox 3.5, a browser which Mozilla has dubbed "Firefox.next" and code-named "Namoroka."
The damn industry persists in pissing me off.

More often than not, the changes are merely that --- changes with little or no improvement in functionality for the average user.

And Ubuntu has an 'encrypt home directory' option, perhaps google should follow suit.
