Firefox 2.0.0.9, released late last week, fixes several issues that plagued some Windows users after they installed version 2.0.0.8.
As many iTWire readers found, Firefox 2.0.0.8 had a tendency to disable any add-ons that had previously been installed. Fortunately, workaround was not too arduous in most cases.

Other problems with 2.0.0.8 on Windows related to CSS, Java, image maps, and a bug that could cause the program to crash on startup.

Only one Windows related issue remains to be fixed in Firefox: the program currently does not honour parental control settings in Vista when downloading files.

A small number of issues still exist in the Mac OS X version, notably a couple of Leopard compatibility problems and a pair or relatively minor bugs.
