Firefox's Windows Installation is a Thing of Beauty

Get Firefox

I installed the latest incarnation of the best web browser on earth on my home machine.

Not only did it find my old Firebird profile and migrate it flawlessly (bookmarks, plugins, passwords), I had been running like Firebird 0.5 or so. Awesome.

"Binary files (e.g. .wma and .rar files) served by servers incorrectly sending text/plain should no longer be displayed as garbage in the browser, rather they should be appropriately handled."

Awesome. Way too many incorrectly configured servers out there.

Well I guess admins can't be bothered to change the default settings.

Good on you, for sending bouquets when they're due.

Ok, I'm now running the latest stable releases of Thunderbird (I was three versions behind) and FireFox (was using plain Mozilla before).

Did the rest of you hear that sound of satisfaction I just made? It was rather loud.

No more comments! Either someone has violated Godwin's Law, I'm tired of the discussion or, most likely, the ten-week window has closed. You can, however, contact me through email.
