John,

I've long thought that there should be a table of what major changes came
with what versions -

That would be a nice thing to be able to look at, especially when its
maintained by Mozilla/FireFox itself.

Probably not practical because
(a) people would never agree on what is a "major" extension
(b) the rate of new versioning has got ridiculous.

:-)

The thing is that I can't even find a list of versions that contain just the
few items I mentioned (and already have been spotlighted as (putting it
mildly) not being in the users interest). Not even a basic list perhaps
created by a privacy-concious group or person.

I did find /something/ though: a list in which the standard line was
(something like) "look at the previous version, and apply the changes
mentioned here". Alas, the top of the lust (earliest versions) was gone,
making it as usefull as a long series of incremental backups - without
having the first, full backup. :-(

Regards,
Rudy Wieser
