Mozilla Firefox 0.9 is out [tip 33]
Another milestone on the road to Phoenix ( Mozilla Firefox 1.0 ) is out.

Here is my summary what you can expect from the 0.9 release.

1. Extension / Theme manager that allows easy updating and removal of themes / extensions

2. New default theme. ( look in my entry from the 6th June for a screenshot)

3. Wizard to import preferences from other browsers (IE, Netscape Opera) This way you can easily copy bookmarks, cookies, passwords and other preferences in Firefox 0.9.

4. A somewhat faster browser and the download size has been lowered to 4,7 MB

5. Several other small fixes and enchantments

You can find download links on the front page of http://mozilla.org I advise to read the release notes before you install Firefox 0.9

You must first uninstall Firefox 0.8 before you install Firefox 0.9. Don't worry all your settings and bookmarks will be transferred to your new Firefox. The extensions and themes from Firefox 0.8 will be "dead" in Firefox 0.9, so you will have to find new updated extensions for 0.9. EDIT: Try look at this new website: http://update.mozilla.org for downloadding themes and extensions.

If you are very dependant on a certain extension it might be best to keep Firefox 0.8 and wait for the extension author to update his extension.

If there are any problems you can seek help in the Mozillazine forums

Good luck with Mozilla Firefox 0.9
