Firefox future
Firefox 0.9 has branched on 2004-04-12
minutes of the meeting 2004-03-29 wrote:*Firefox 0.9*
- One major piece of feature work left to do - extension manager UI
- Current plan calls for a release in 1st week of May; this may change if Mozilla schedule changes.
- Coming off the 1.7 branch, probably on the far side of the 1.7 release.
- 0.9 will be feature complete; rock-solid stability is the next target(1.0).
2004-04-14<-->2004-04-12
The Official Win32 2004-04-13 build is out.
The previous Official Win32 build was 2004-04-12
If you find problems/bugs:
- Post them in this thread
- Properly describe the problem
- Include the url where you have the problem (if this is the case)
- Include the "about mozilla firefox" information (under the help button)
- Installer build or .zip version?
- Did you completely erase the Firefox directory first?
- Does a new profile fix the problem?
- Include the list of extensions you have installed (preferably none to start with)
