Mozilla Firefox, my favorite web browser, released version 0.9 today. There are a lot of new features, including a long overdue extension manager that will help keep extensions up-to-date. Neil's World has a great Firefox 0.9 Tour that goes into a lot of these changes in detail, as does this review at MadPenguin.org. I don't know if I'll have time to check this out at work today, but I am looking forward to trying out this new release. I was going to suggest that you go grab it before Slashdot inundated the servers, but it looks like they beat me to it...

The release of Firefox 0.9 will coincide with the release of Mozilla Internet Suite 1.7 and a preview release of Thunderbird 0.7 later this week.

Update: Lockergnome highlights Firefox in its recent article "Why You Should Dump Internet Explorer." Also, some extensions aren't working in Firefox 0.9 yet, so I found this mirrored link that provides an up-to-date list of extensions that work as well as those that have been updated for the new version. Hopefully the transition will be quick and this won't be necessary for too long...
