Firefox 0.9.1 is coming

Ben Goodger has announced that there will be a 0.9.1 bugfix release. It will fix several theme/extension manager bugs and include an updated version of Winstripe that isn't on the trunk yet.

There is a 0.9.1 mini-branch off of the Aviary branch at the point of the 0.9 release. 0.9.1 branch checkins. Thunderbird 0.7.1 will be released from the same mini-branch.

2004-06-24 Trunk builds

Fixes for regressions:

  • Fixed: 246923 - links in nested frames fail if same-origin check fails.

Fixes for other bugs:

  • Fixed: 247322 - Able to install incompatible extensions, causing subsequent startup woes.
  • Fixed: 245734 - Able to install extension into wrong application.
  • Fixed: 246719 - Make link modifiers work consistently throughout Firefox.
  • Fixed: Make middlemouse.contentLoadURL work on Windows.

You can now use link modifiers in many places in the browser UI, such as the back button and Go menu items. Shift opens a new window, Ctrl or Middle opens a new tab, and Alt saves. Ctrl+clicking or middle+clicking a UI link selects the new tab (since you're unlikely to continue reading the current tab after opening a URL from the UI), but you can make it leave the current tab selected by holding Shift or by setting the hidden pref browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground to true.

Regressions:

  • Since ~June 10: 246168 - [Linux] '-remote "openURL(<url>, new-tab)"' no longer works
  • Since ~June 2: 245327 - theme switch clears all tabs, disables their history, can't close these tabs.
  • Since May or June: 246687, 246658, 248013 - Firefox startup gets stuck at "Finishing Extension Installation" for various reasons. (Workaround: run "firefox.exe -no-extensions" and disable the extension responsible, or delete the extensions subdirectory of your profile.)

Firefox 0.9 is out!

MozillaZine: Mozilla Firefox 0.9 Released.

Download using HTTP or download using BitTorrent.

If you've been following the trunk with The Burning Edge, the interesting things about 0.9 are:

  • A new default theme, Winstripe.
  • Theme/extension managers that actually work.
  • Increased stability from being on a branch.

If you're coming from 0.8, or if you want to be reminded of the big improvements between 0.8 and 0.9, read the release notes or the bigger picture.

In addition to 0.9, there is also a new official site for Firefox themes and extensions, update.mozilla.org.

Firefox 0.9 coming soon

Firefox 0.9 will be released soon from the Aviary branch, which is not the same as the 1.7 branch.

Neil Turner's Firefox 0.9 tour with screenshots.

Draft of 0.9 release notes.

The Burning Edge's Bigger Picture: What's new in 0.9. This list is more detailed than the release notes, but less detailed than daily Burning Edge posts.

The branch has a new theme, Winstripe, which has not yet been checked in on the trunk. It also has a different version of the theme and extension manager than on the trunk.
