I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says
something about human nature that the only form of life we have created
so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.

I uninstalled 0.9 using Add/Remove Programs, then installed 0.9.2. All
preferences, including bookmarks, themes, extensions and downloads remained
with no need to back up or reinstall. (Looks like C:\WINDOWS\Application
Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\default t49 in WindowsME)

As your other question was answered I would just note that it is the
Mozillazine forums that are down and that the Pyran forum is up.

Maybe old news, but I seem to be downloading Firefox 0.9.2exe when
upgrading to 0.9.1 from www.mozilla.org

If you already have 0.9.1 installed, it really is much easier to apply the
fix (takes 5 seconds) than install a whole new version.

Go to http://www.mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=4960.

Thanks for the info. I still using 9.0 and the patch worked perfectly. If
anyone wants to know if there browser is fixed after applying the patch, go to
the site below. You should see only "one" link to click on. If you see more
than "one" link to click on, you are still vulnerable (of course make sure that
you have closed and reopened your browser after applying the patch)

The patch can be installed from here:

Yesterday when I posted, and today (just looked), Pyran- above link, is still shut
down.

I dl v0.9.2 to avoid hassles. I went to the first URL below and my
browser has only one link showing, that found at this reference:

"The following will accomplish the same as the above by using it as
the source of an iframe.
Click to show file"

The "Click to show file" is what is a link.

What does this mean and is this the only one that is safe for it to be
clickable?

There's a great Bookmark Synchronizer extension for Firefox,
which uploads your bookmarks to a web or FTP site. You can
automatically keep the same bookmarks on several machines.
Add a bookmark on 1 computer, and the change propogates to the
other machines. Very nifty. Also, you can access your
bookmarks from anywhere in the world, and you have a nice off-
site backup of them at all times. Works flawlwssly.
