Could be a long time until this happens. Meanwhile, there is no real
reason why you couldn't try the sid version.
I'm pretty patient. I was impressed by version 5, but I'm not in a hurry
for version 6 -- unless Iceweasel goes south for some reason. I've had
that happen before, back when I was running Lenny. Something happened
where I lost any ability to run Java at the one site where I allowed its
use (thinks.com -- crossword puzzles), and JavaScript / Flash were
*really* iffy.
I'm especially
interested in seeing what they're doing for flash support. I
understand that it's to be integrated into the browser. (Well, the
Google version, anyway.) I wonder how that's going to work.
Not at all in Chromium on Linux, I think.
Yes, I've been straightened out on that. It will be interesting to see
how it goes.
I use Iceweasel and have just got used to it. It's really not a bad
browser for me. I use the gnash plugin, noscript and adblock from the
Debian repositories, and the browser is all right -- until I play too
many movies or enable Java temporarily for an online crossword
puzzle. At that point the laptop's CPU temp reading jumps about 20
C. Sometimes I have to kill the browser and related processes.
Well, at least you don't need to worry about the gnash plugin eating too
many resources in Chromium, since it just crashes right away. :-(

Bwa-ha-ha-ha!
You know, though, I think I'd almost rather have flash just crash than
have it work half-*ssed. Then I wouldn't waste so much time on
youtube.com watching dumb stuff I don't need to be watching. I used to
just use youtube-dl, and that tended to make me more choosy about what I
would bother with.
Regards,
Gilbert
