Firefox 0.9.1 and Thunderbird 0.7.1 Released
Dave writes "The Mozilla Foundation has just made available interim releases of Firefox 0.9.1 and Thunderbird 0.7.1. Apparently: 'These releases are designed to address early issues found in the new extension manager and automatic upgrade system as well as making changes to the new Firefox theme based on initial feedback.'"
You know IE is in trouble when a minor point release meant to address bugs only makes Slashdot headlines..
Wait, then again, the smell of T-Rex's breath did too.. Never mind.......
"clean uninstall?" you mean,
> format c:
or
> fdisk
???
Yep, same here. I got the little message saying upgrade to 0.9.1, so I did. And then I started up 0.9.1 and got a little message saying upgrade to 0.9.1, so I did...
I got nothing...
0.9 kept telling me to upgrade to 0.9. Now 0.9.1 keeps telling me to upgrade to 0.9. I think it really liked the 0.9 release.

Apparently side steps or nonsteps also constitute steps backwards.
:O
I'm just as confused as you are
The old default theme in 9.0 looked very nice. Thsi one looks horrible! Can we revert? Please?
...a slightly more advanced version of writing "other side up" on both ends of a box.

-- Real programmers don't comment their code. It was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
They should have called this release "9.0 Optimized" just to force AOL to litigate them into yet another name change.
You see? You see? Your stupid minds! Stupid! Stupid!
"clean uninstall?" you mean,

No no no. Of course not. Are you stupid.
A question for the slashdot community:
Bleach, soap, or a moist whipe? Which works best on hardisks? And what brand?
Actually, twas posted as "Halo-", but if you'd like I can still call you a whore.
Yep, same here. I got the little message saying upgrade to 0.9.1, so I did. And then I started up 0.9.1 and got a little message saying upgrade to 0.9.1, so I did...
Have you tried upgrading to 0.9.1?
Tedious Bloggy Stuff - hooray?
"Come in a box"? Eew. Bad, bad, name for it. For Chrissakes, don't let the devs hear that. And I like the fox just the way it is. I don't even want to think about the new throbber would have to look like.
> You listening, spatial-nautilus guy ?
I hate to respond to my own post, but ever since typing this out I've had a budweiser-style ad running through my mind...
"We salute you, Mr. Spatial Nautilus forcing-everybody-to-use guy.
You've got what it takes to do what everybody else was doing 8 years ago. (musicians voice: not obsolete, oh-no)
Your desktop has more open windows than an indoor chile cookoff. (mv: somebody get me out of here !)
Don't worry, if you build it... and you make it the default... and you don't put a switch to turn it off... they will come. (mv: Mr Spatial Nautilus forcing-everybody-to-uuuuuse-guy.)"
25% Funny, 25% Insightful, 25% Informative, 25% Troll
That's just an excessive waste in energy which can be bad on your knees if done for prolonged periods of times. Perhaps a skiing motion would be best.
nah, it's the IE user that got the worm.
Snowden and Manning are heroes.
reminds me the programmer who died in shower, because he followed the shampoo bottle instruction: apply thoroughly - rinse - repeat.
That would be a feature.
Anyone ever smell the Mozilla logo's breath?
No matter how hard you try to create an alternative browser you are never going to defeat the Microsoft browser and Active X. As long as sites continue to use Active X applets then Internet Explorer will be the only browser that will correctly display them. You can sit there and say, "Well I just won't visit the sites that don't work with (Insert Favorite Alternative Browser Here) " and thats all well and good, but you are really just limiting yourself just because your hatred to Microsoft. Just give up and give in to the juggernaut. Resistance is Futile...
I understand about getting the whole family to switch. I just went through everybodies login and deleted all the nice little iE icons (and made some registry mods) and low and behold. "Hey everybody Internet Explorer is broke, You'll have to use Firefox or Mozilla."
So far so good.
That's a really good idea. And after you're done, use "dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/hda" just to be sure - you never know what other problems you might run into ;)
Find a job you like and you will never work a day in your life.
They changed it to repeat as desired to stop further programming power loss .. also .. programmers being proactive stopped taking shower after the incident.
I'm sure there was an end_of_bottle error signalled somewhere. Only the incompetent programmers have to die. Thank god for the shampoo industry.
