HiBuvanendiran.A, I think that is a sensible suggestion. That is something I have thought about before. However I have never tried to follow up on or investigate the idea.

I am not certain where best to raise this, but not here, as we are only volunteers and fellow Firefox users. This thread will not come to the attention of Developers. For all I know there may already have been discussions on this topic or even bugs filed for this action.

I suggest you post in the developers or planning forum and briefly make the suggestion and ask where the best place is to discuss this matter. It is also worth noting IT professionals may be more likely to use Firefox ESR, and AFAIK that is not yet available in a 64 bit Version for Windows.

If you do get an answer or start discussion you may post back to this forum using your open question thread with a link to the discussion as I for one would be interested to follow it.

This is in fact a repeat question so I will close this question and ask you to continue with and in the original question. I will also edit out the unnecessary link. (If the link refers to your own website you are welcome to include that in your profile /user/Buvanendiran.A use /user/Buvanendiran.A/edit )
