Mozilla Project Officially Releases Firefox 0.9

_xeno_ writes "The last release candidate was apparently good enough, because Mozilla Firefox 0.9 has now been officially released. New features since 0.8 are, of course, basically the same as in the Release Candidate, including the new Pinstripe theme for Windows and the GTK+ installer for Linux users. The biggest change since the Release Candidate is that this release should ask you to migrate your profile instead of just trashing it. So head over to the Firefox homepage and get downloading, or check out the Release Notes to find out exactly what's new." mE123 adds "You can get it from plain old HTTP or from fancy new BitTorrent", and points out that (compared to 0.8), "this release includes tons of bug/stability fixes, a %3 speed up, a new theme and plugin management system, a new standard windows theme, and a smaller windows installer."

So what's the name-change going to be for this release?

Yes, we ALL did. We're watching you...

Re:Safari

[Woy]

Recently, I started using Firefox on my PC because of its similarity to Safari. Has anyone else noticed this?

Yeah, we did! And thanks for those pics of your wife in the hidden "honey" folder. Those came in really handy, if you catch my drift.

Close windows programs ?

Why does the linux installer ask me to close
all my Windows programs before continuing ?

Re:Not a single reason

[Anonymous Coward]

that fixed it.

So why not put it in there by default, or have the checkbox "Dont lose the fucking data when the connection is suddenly not present"?

I guess those support licenses need to be sold in some way or another.

If you have Firefox, make sure to get the Linky plugin (I'm not responsible for that one, but it is a very useful plugin) if you like to open multiple links at once from a given webpage.

Yeah, I hear that - opening multiple links - can be quite difficult when using your left hand.

Are you familiar with the Pornzilla [squarefree.com] project?

I haven't seen your PC, so no - I can't say I've noticed it. ;^)

If you have a tab open, double-click on the area between the right side of the tab and the right side of the window. This should open a new tab.

Like so:

|[ tab1 ][ tab2 ]*********************X|

Double-click in the area where the asterisks are.

HTH.

(Alright, Slashdot wants me to use fewer junk characters so I'll describe what I'm drinking. It's a rather cheap imported German beer that I got at an Anderson's general store in Ohio. It came in a 6-pack of 16oz cans for ~$5, so it was pretty cheap. I wouldn't have bought it except that the name (Henninger) is rediculously close to my own last name. Unfortunately, it's nothing like the Bass and Newcastle I've been drinking lately. Only one more can to go!

Well, shit. I'm also partaking in some salted in-shell peanuts, which I've been eating whole. Normally, this wouldn't be recommended, since the shells don't really get digested. However, I chew the hell out of them so they're a little easier on me as they exit. Plus, it's pretty good fiber.

what the fuck! i wanted to type this section in all caps, but i'm sure slashcode would get me again. so i'll just type random characters.

Okay, I would have had a bigger ascii browser window, but Slashcode just wouldn't accept it. So, I had to crop my "image". I'm leaving this random rant here just for shits and giggles. Enjoy.

Also, posting this under my actual account. The above was a mistaken post as AC.)

The point is we know IE is crap, so what is the point of comparing to it?

When compared to a Model-T even a Skoda looks pretty good.

When compared to being hit on the head, sitting on a rock feels pretty good.

Umm, wow. Why hasn't this been mentioned before? It's like a teenager's wet dream!!

Re:Anything's better than a turd

[DarthAle]

Hey, I resent that! I'm very proud of my Renault Twingo. Comparing it to IE is unfair.

And don't forget the plugin/extension that randomly renames Firefox every time you run it or change windows.

I got "Mozilla Buttpanda" last night and nearly dropped my beer from laughing so hard. (Beer, of course, being key in thinking that "buttpanda" is hysterical in the first place.)
