Mozilla Firefox 0.9 and Dan Stone, completely unrelated. . .

As much as I have loved Firefox, I have to say that I didn't get along with its current incarnation 0.9. There are some problems getting extensions and themes working, as well as problems getting it to even run on a couple of different platforms. Serves me right for updating so quickly.

Since two this afternoon, I've installed 0.9, fought with it a bit, uninstalled it, went on a hunt for the 0.8 download (found it at Download.com), and reinstalled 0.8. Thankfully, my profile information was saved, and it held on to AdBlock, Deepest Sender, and whatever other themes I'd tried out.

Oh, yeah, that Dan Stone is one heck of a guy. I e-mailed him this morning to find out which Deathcab for Cutie song he played on Sound Opinions this past weekend and after lunch there was an e-mail waiting for me with my answer.

Same!!!

At least for Firefox. :(

I grabbed 0.9rc yesterday, installed, uninstalled, installed, uninstalled and gave up on 0.9. For whatever reason 0.9 didn't quite work for me -- very spotty.

I was hugely pleased to see my profile pop up again after reinstalling 0.8.

Also, given that storage space is virtually "free", how come you don't store the installation exe locally?

Yup. Oh, the horror!
