[Anonymous Coward]

You know IE is in trouble when a minor point release meant to address bugs only makes Slashdot headlines..

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...

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.

Wow...Firefox went from 0.9 to 9.0!!

> 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.)"

Since this recent update, has anyone had any problems connecting to www.foxnews.com? It opens in Exploder, but FireFox can't seem to even detect the server.

That would be a feature.
