My browser of choice, Mozilla Firefox, has been updated to version 0.9. I downloaded the 4.73MB Windows installer and upgraded as per the instructions. The process was very smooth because the new version imported my previous profile (including the bookmarks, cookies and preferences) without any problems. There was hardly anything to tweak.
As others have noted, the new default theme, Winstripe, is less stylish than its predecessor, Qute, but it’s not too bad. I just need to get used to it. But it’s nice to know I can always revert to Qute.
Incidentally, Firefox sometimes renders Slashdot incorrectly and I usually end up refreshing the page several times to correct it. There’s a simpler fix: click the Back button followed by the Forward button and the page should display correctly.
