Really? On my machine, facebook works very well.

All,

Just dropping a note to say Firefox 9.0.1 and Thunderbird 9.0 look pretty good. Version jumps always scare the heck out of me with what may have been mucked up trying to 'improve' things. So far, responsiveness seems improved and interface stayed the same from an appearance standpoint from what I can tell.

Note: That IS the definition of 'improvement.' :)

Merry Christmas or whatever you celebrate!

I have found the same thing whch is that FF v9 has problems with some sites. For example, my wife is on some forums and with FF v9 she could not post so I had to re-install v8 on her computer. As for me, I cannot access my telephone account with our Telco.

Even more annoying, though, is that the "Send Feeback" page is broken - no matter how many times I click on "Submit", nothing happens! I think I'm going to have to go back to 8.x. :-(

Regarding the topic, I really do not like and don't understand either why it is necessary to increase major version numbers every 2-4 weeks. For changes that earlier deserved a 0.00x version number minor update.

Not just your opinion, I too think it is nothing more then a numbers game. Whomever has the higher number _must_ have a better product. :-)
