October 22nd, 2007 at 9:47 pm - "...The 2.0.0.8 release fixed some 200 issues, but accidentally regressed a few things. Most users won’t see any difference or experience any problems, and those 200 fixes make the 2.0.0.8 update very valuable, but you should never have to choose functionality over security. So we’re working fast to understand and fix these problems, and will shortly be issuing a 2.0.0.9 update to address them..."

Rhonda · Apr 18, 2008

Hi. Not so long ago, Firefox came highly recommended by a friend and writer who switched from IE to Firefox with great results and resolve to numerous complaints.

This morning, I am so happy about installing Firefox, which I use at local public libraries and really like.

Unless this is not recommended, I am considering downloading Bugzilla, for added security.

Just want to thank you.
Rhonda
