0.9.8. When I looked at what changed in 0.9.9 I didn't think there was anything worth running out and upgrading for. Mostly cosmetic stuff or stuff I don't use. I can tell you this: if I wasn't running Mozilla on this relatively new fire-breathing monster (P4 1.7Ghz/256MB) I don't think I could tolerate it. It was painful on all the slower/lower memory machines I'd used it on. Mozilla is also heavily infiltrated by Netscape/AOL influence these days, and that bugs me. Even though Mozilla is "open source", I am under the impression that the majority of code writers are Netscape/ AOL employees, and that Netscape/AOL maintains a certain "veto" power over certain aspects. As an example of why this is an issue for me: http://www.newsbytes.com/news/02/175035.html -- Philip J.
