Wtf. Last night I dreamed I saw "Firefox 3.4" or something like that, telling me there was a new version out. And no, I usually don't dream about browsers.

[AkumaX]

[saxophonoia]

hmmm...having trouble downloading it. There must be a lot of people trying to get it.

Does it keep your cookies/password stuff if you move over to 0.9?

 

[MAME]

I don't like the look as much as .8 so I stayed with it

 

[toekramp]

sweet ass sweet 🙂

How come the software still registers as 0.8 in help->about and in the installation?

edit: AHHH and what happened to my extensions?! I can't find anywhere to install them!

Mozilla is a full suite of internet applications.

You didn't expect a team of 50 professional testers like Microsoft would have to roll-out an install package did you ?

 

[jfall]

Technically it appears to be FireFox 0.8.0+ which i'm not sure is correct or a mistake

 

[JzL]

Guys, its just a Release Canidate, they always have some reference to the previous versions.. all the eye candy will be added later.

 

[apac]

Well it's definitely different from 0.8, but since its RC they probably just haven't updated the installer yet.

For all the web developers out there, make sure to install the developer toolkit during custom install. Very cool stuff! And yes, it does migrate all your passwords and cookies over from .8.
