Firefox 2.0.0.9 kommt nächste Woche

Firefox 2.0.0.8 hat nach Angaben der Entwickler rund 200 Probleme behoben. Allerdings haben sich offenbar auch einige Fehler eingeschlichen. Folgende werden genannt:

• Firefox will ignore the "clear" CSS property when used beneath a box that is using the "float" property. There is a temporary workaround JS/CSS code available for web developers with affected layouts.
• Windows Vista users will get "Java not found" or "Java not working" errors when trying to load Java applets after updating. To fix this, users can right-click the Firefox icon and "Run as administrator", then browse to a page with a Java applet - doing this once will fix the problem and permanently restore Java functionality.
• Add-ons are disabled after updating. Users can fix this problem by opening their profile folder and removing three files (extensions.rdf, extensions.ini and extensions.cache)
• Removing a single area element from an image map will cause the entire map to disappear. There is no workaround available at this time.
• Some Windows users may experience crashes at startup. There is no workaround available at this time.

Die Entwickler hoffen, Firefox 2.0.0.9 in der nächsten Woche bereitstellen zu können.
