I was just wondering why you divide some browsers by version... Doesn't that give an advantage to the browsers that aren't split?

I'll probably split FireFox when it gets a version 2.0. There's also a thing called "SeaMonkey" about, but I'm not sure if that's a browser per se.

Yes, that SeaMonkey thing is a browser.  It is the successor to Mozilla.  See my previous topic:

http://stephenbrooks.org/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/819608064/m/5791064672

Now that SeaMonkey 1.0 is out, I would appreciate if you could add it here.

OK, I've done that.  Mozilla had too long a bar anyway it needed to be spilt up.

You should get rid of the old versions.  I mean, who would still be using Opera 6?

Why?  You still see them from time to time.  I sometimes use them when testing websites.  Besides, it's fun to dig up my old versions of Opera7 and IE4 and whip up on Opera 9 and IE7.

And why not?  If separated versions of some browsers are listed (like IE or Opera), why is there only « Firefox », instead of Firefox 0.9, Firefox 1.0, Firefox 1.5, Firefox 2.0?

FireFox 2 needs its own team, I think...

Now the question is - does it get detected OK by the page?

Doesn't seem to be working.

romain vigier - there is a major difference between opera 6 and 7, and 8 and 9 - the only difference between firefox 0.9 and 1.0 is a lot of bugs get fixed.  same with 1.0 and 1.5

Its not a new version, just major fixes to whats touted as 'the safest browser' (just as iraq is clearly the safest country to be in, and for a similar reason - with all those guns, its got to be safe)
