Woo yay! Firefox 0.9 set for release tonight.

Wow, great news!

 

[dreamliner77]

I'll let you guys work out the bugs

 

[NetRyder]

IIRC, Firefox 0.9 is the feature-complete release (meaning no major new features will be added between 0.9 and 1.0). 0.9 should be pretty stable (I haven't had any major issues with 0.9RC1 either, for that matter), but most, if not all, of the bugs should be dealt with by the time 1.0 comes along.

 

[muzikool]

I have had no problems with 0.9 RC1 either.

Haha yep...been lurking in #firefox on IRC for a while.
FF 0.9 is here. *Watches the servers get clobbered again*

If the server goes down anytime soon, here's the BitTorrent link for you guys. I'm off to bed now.

Here are some screenshots. Notice the green box at the bottom-right... double-clicking it launches an update dialogue that searches for the new update. Of course I can't connect right now since the server is getting slammed.

Also, the first thing that Firefox did when I loaded it was notify me that TBE was incompatible, and then it searched for an installed a compatible release. Not bad!
