Wooho!, Firefox (my favorite browser in the whole wide world) is up to 0.9rc1 (release candidate 1 for the un-initiated). Firefox was already awsome, and it keeps getting better. It makes IE look like a model-T in comparison. It blocks pop up adds and doesn't install horrible viruses or allow web pages to run malicious code. As if these reasons weren't enough, it also supports a cool feature called tabed browsing which allows you to open multiple web pages in the same window with a simple middle click.
Release notes can be found here

You might need the Macromedia Flash Player as well as Macromedia Shockwave player. Install these after installing Firefox.

Allllmost tempted to download this version, but I'll wait a week or so for the final.

Man, I am using it now.. it rocks, (rolls and rocks and rocks and rolls and rolls and rocks as Devil Doll would say). The installer is snazzy, it picked up my settings and whatnot.. no problem. It is fast, the extensions and stuff seem to be working well. I am impressed. Anyone who isn't using Firefox isn't surfing in style. Anyone who isn't using the release candidate should (cause if not they are an i-chicken).
