Mozilla Unleashes Firefox 0.9

[Lord_of_the_Dense]

Open source project fixes bugs, adds polish to upgraded Web browser.

The Mozilla Foundation has made an updated version of its Firefox Web browser available, offering new extension and theme managers, a changed default look, and improved migration capabilities, in what it says is an important step in the anticipation of the group's Firefox 1.0 release.

Subtle Improvements

Firefox 0.9, made available by the open-source software project on Monday, builds on the previous release with bug fixes and fine-tuning but doesn't offer any radical changes.

"It's not entirely easy to tell at first what all has happened" said Richard Heck, a Firefox user in Cambridge, Massachusetts. However, Heck, who has been using the browser for a little over a year, said that once he began playing around with it he noticed glitches from the previous version had been smoothed out and managing extensions has been notably improved.

Managing themes is a pain in the ass.

Managing themes is a pain in the ass.

they fixed this now... the mozilla update site had some bad binding and didn't work yesterday.

.9 is an improvement; although some of my extensions are not here yet and the installer kinda sucks if you have a profile for previous versions.

That sucks. The one time EVER that I'm on top of things, it's screwed up.

I just use my normal stylexp theme.

Does the Adblock extension work with this version?

It didn't in the previous versions.

The adblock extension works, it WORKS!!

WHOOHOO!!!

I've now switched to Firefox instead of regular Mozilla. So far, i'd say I like the GUI better.

Now i'm off to do some more tweaking...
