Firefox 0.9

The latest version of Firefox is now available from a server near you.

As usual, I've loaded it on one of my systems and will work with it for a few days before putting it on the other four.

A couple of items:

  • I don't like the new default theme. When time permits I'll try out some of the other available themes.
  • The installation was not as smooth as I have previously experienced. 0.9 did not want to use my 0.8 profile and I ended up having to copy/import various files. Of course, this also meant that all my remembered signons, etc., got dumped.
Well, I'll futz around and see if I can find the claimed easy way to import this stuff.

Tim Bishop wonders whether Firefox is moving backwards.

I should note that Jen let me know earlier today that this release is out.

I didn't have any installation issues (on the Mac, it's a drag and drop affair) and it imported my previous information just fine, but the new default look is paricularly unattractive.

I'll be changing it, too.
