No, it's an artifact of releasing 0.91 so quickly. It was an important bugfix, but they left the majority of the code alone for compatibility reasons, including the reported version string.

What I don't like is that animated gifs don't stop when I press stop like in IE (it would be cool to be able configure stop button to stop either just page load or also gifs and flash).

A page with 7 or so animated adds is horror to look at.

@TP: You can open bookmarks as new tabs by middle-clicking on them.

Not on two machines I tried it on it doesn't. You have to right click and chose the option from the menu. Basically pants.

With AdBlock or Nuke Anything, those ads are quickly removed.

The middle-click works great here (Firebird 0.8 on WinXP).

Do you have one of those stupid programs that remaps the middle button to something else?

A page with 7 animated ads is a horror to look at no matter what browser you use! I don't know what is worse, all the pop-ups, or people who inlay so many ads in their websites that there isn't any content....

Hmmm.

Try going to about:config, and enter middle in the filter bar. Check that the following options are true:
browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick
middlemouse.openNewWindow

They are true on my machine (and by default). I didn't see a place to change them in the preferences panels.

Which brings me to a complaint - the preferences panels aren't capable of changing a lot of things, such as having a new window open for a middle click...

Actually, in 0.9.1 they specifically forced the version number to 0.9, presumably for extension compatibility reasons.

Oh, Spadnos' post reminded me of an annoyance I have - the default behaviour when you select from the URL bar's drop-down list seems to be to open it in a new tab. I say seems because that's not always the case - I think it starts doing that once you've been using tabs.

Anyway, my point is I don't want that behaviour at all - if I want to open a page in a new tab I'll specifically make a new tab for it first. There's an about:config preference which looks just like it would control this, but it does nothing. (I remember reading in the mozillazine forums that not all the preferences are implemented. ) I haven't tried a 0.9 yet, but it was this way in 0.7 and 0.8.

What's "Linky"

Another annoyance:

-Middle click auto scroll - it's very jerky.

Smooth scrolling isn't

• Acrobat compatibility within browser
• Copy/paste seems inconsistent for me (I'll select a piece of text within the browser
• Clicking on html links within explorer will pop-up a stupid message "Windows cannot find... blah blah"

- Acrobat compatibility within browser (tends to crash firefox a lot)
- I sometimes experience multi monitor problems (browser is in second screen and pop-up menu's appear in first screen)
- I still miss some features (The quick properties menu, Reload every, Image Load/Shown, etc) that are available in Opera 6 (so opera is still my main browser atm)

[leech]

The only time I've had Acrobat crash Firefox is due to the pdf file I'm trying to view not downloading fully, so when I try to close the tab with the PDF, Firefox hangs.... it doesn't crash.

As far as things opening up on the wrong screen in multi-monitor set ups... the only program I've had that problem with so far is Gaim for Windows. It ALWAYS opens up the right-click menu in the first monitor, even though I have the program in the third monitor.
