So where does that leave those of us who want a fully functional Mozilla?

Either uninstalling Nautilus and Galeon or sticking with 8.0, it sounds

no-brainer. I was going to call around Portland tomorrow and see where it
was being sold and buy it. Now I'm not so sure.

You may be happy. I don't discount that or disagree that that's important.
But what's the customer who needs Java to be fully functional supposed to
