A while ago, I had downloaded FF 8. I had been using FF 3.6. Once installed, FF 8 replaced FF 3.6. FF 8 was so wonky. Even though I had deselected the open links in new tabs option in the preferences, links kept opening in tabs instead of windows. FF 3.6 works great for me. I really saw no reason to upgrade. There were so many things wrong with FF 8. I was lucky to be able to get FF 3.6 reinstalled. If FF 9 is even remotely like FF 8, I don't want it. I have not been able to see FF 9 in action and I don't want to run the risk of losing what I love about FF 3.6. Is there a way to see FF 9 in action to see how it compares with FF 8?
