Firefox 0.8 works fine - no problems on may old WalStreet Powerbook with MAC OS
10.2.8. I downloaded 0.9 from the Firefox homepage. Then - see under summary. If
you try to open Firefox 0.9 if 0.8 is open you get even more trouble and have to
restart the Computer. I erased 0.9 totally and am haqppy with 0.8 again.
I have tried two times: download, expand, install  with no use in both cases.
I told m y son about the features of Firefox. He had Safari and IE only onm his
IBook and downloaded 0.9 - with the same effects as I had. I then copied to him
my Version 0.8 - and he is happy. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.see above
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
as described above

Expected Results:  
it should have run as Version 0.8 does

I used to download every upgrade or build as you call it, but this bug
dicourages me to do so agein.
