Literally the same reason why Ford sells 150s and 250s and Volvo sells 70s and 90s: They are different products and don't base the version numbers on their competitor.

Original ESR is best ESR

Why is Chrome 121 versions ahead of Android?

Windows 11 and OSX are so outdated

All the downvotes here kinda got me legit angry. Incurious fools and jokers.

It's not a complete answer, but it's partially because the development of Chrome and Firefox have always been highly competitive resulting in them both adopting rapid release cycles around the same time in the early 2010's.

I haven't read too much into the topic, but I wouldn't be surprised if this was as much a marketing decision as well as a developer one. Similar to how Microsoft didn't want to release an XBox 2 in competition with a PlayStation 3.

These are just the Wikipedia links, but there is interesting discussion of development history to be had, here.

Not so sure about that... Looking at that page he seems pretty racist, homophobic, and sexist.

This update makes it much easier to add custom search engines in Firefox. You can now right-click in a search field on a supported website and select “Add Search Engine” to add it. You can edit the name and assign a keyboard.

Am I misremembering things, didn't this feature exist already in the past?

Why is Firefox 4 or 3 versions ahead of Chromium versions (Edge, Chrome)?
