Are Mozilla forcing me to move to Firefox 3

At work I have elected to stick with Firefox 2 as Firefox 3 is still rather new. This morning the browser auto-updated to version 2.0.0.15 and since then websites have started appearing without images. On a number of websites I have visited HTML embedded images (as opposed to CSS Images) have not been loading when refreshing the page, but they do appear when entering a URL in the address bar and when using Ctrl + F5.

As a web developer this is a rather annoying browser bug. Have Mozilla taken the decision to destabilise Firefox 2 in order to push people to download the more stable Firefox 3? I hope this isn’t the case as these aren’t the dirty tactics I’d associate with Mozilla and the Firefox team.

    Now that Bill Gates has stepped down from his Microsoft Tower (TM), perhaps Mozilla have barricaded themselves in it and assumed his previous role!

    It’s a marketing role successfully employed by both Microsoft and Adobe; release a product with bugs, then further interactions fix the prior bugs but introduce new ones.
