I tried to look at the Release Notes for v9.0.1, which the system is encouraging me to try. Thr Release Notes page contains, as usual, headings for "What's New in Firefox", "System Requirements", "Downloading", "Installing", "Uninstalling", "Add Ons and Themes", "Known Issues", "Troubleshooting", "Frequently Asked Questions", "Contributed Builds", and "Othe Resources and Links." Unfortunately, Clicking on any of these headings just re-displays the Release Notes page. No information is presented. Before I load new software, I'd like to know what it's supposed to do.

Known issues

This list covers some of the known problems with Firefox which will be resolved in future versions:

All Systems 

       Users of the Twitter search plugin may see Twitter appear in the search provider list multiple times (see bug 690658)
       Choosing the "Pop out" menu item while watching fullscreen YouTube videos may cause Firefox to hang (see bug 675645)
       Roundcube, webmail software used by many hosting companies, incorrectly displays an ellipses in place of long email titles. The Roundcube team has been notified of the issue (see bug 680610)
       Firefox will now display a corrupted content error when it detects certain types of misconfigured servers. This is not a Firefox issue, please contact the website owner (see bug 681140)
       For some users, scrolling in the main GMail window will be slower than usual (see bug 579260)
       If you try to start Firefox using a locked profile, it will crash (see bug 573369)

Microsoft Windows 

       Some users of Adobe Reader X have experienced instability when viewing PDF documents in the browser. Uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader X has been determined to resolve the issue (see bug 640901)
       Some ALPS touchpad drivers break scrolling in Firefox. A workaround has been identified (see bug 605357)

Mac OS X 

       Some users may observe missing icons in the History and Bookmarks menus (see bug 705516)
       For some users, the preference dialog is not shown and a rendering error (in the form of a white square) is shown instead. This is caused an add-on incorrectly setting Firefox preferences (see bug 641288)
       Users running Mac OS X 10.7 may see a crash when the file chooser dialog is shown. Apple has been notified of the issue (see bug 670842)
       This version of Firefox will not work on Macintosh hardware with Power PC CPUs (see bug 587799)

Linux and Unix 

       The video control buttons may not work when viewing QuickTime videos with libtotem (see bug 625036)
       Users compiling from source might need a newer gcc and libstdc++ as the build requirements have changed (seebug 578880)

Troubleshooting 

   Poorly designed or incompatible extensions can cause problems with your browser, including make it crash, slow down page display, etc. If you encounter strange problems relating to parts of the browser no longer working, the browser not starting, windows with strange or distorted appearance, degraded performance, etc, you may be suffering from Extension or Theme trouble. Restart the browser in Safe Mode. On Windows, start using the "Safe Mode" shortcut created in your Start menu or by running firefox.exe -safe-mode. On Linux, start with ./firefox -safe-mode and on Mac OS X, run:

   cd /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/
   ./firefox-bin -safe-mode
   When started in Safe Mode all extensions are disabled and the Default theme is used. Disable the Extension/Theme that is causing trouble and then start normally.
   If you uninstall an extension that is installed with your user profile (i.e. you installed it from a Web page) and then wish to install it for all user profiles using the -install-global-extension command line flag, you must restart the browser once to cleanse the profile extensions datasource of traces of that extension before installing with the switch. If you do not do this you may end up with a jammed entry in the Extensions list and will be unable to install the extension globally.
   If you encounter strange problems relating to bookmarks, downloads, window placement, toolbars, history, or other settings, it is recommended that you try creating a new profile and attempting to reproduce the problem before filing bugs. Create a new profile by running Firefox with the -P command line argument, choose the "Manage Profiles" button and then choose "Create Profile...". Migrate your settings files (Bookmarks, Saved Passwords, etc) over one by one, checking each time to see if the problems resurface. If you do find a particular profile data file is causing a problem, file a bug and attach the file.


thank you
