Hello fellow lunar users,

UPDATE AVAILABLE AT: 12:00 CET (next full hour)

I just finished rewriting the entire firefox module and finally
bumped it up to 0.9 which has been released about 26 hours ago. It
took quite some time since I needed to wait until the firefox
developers fixed their broken tarball at their FTP server.
Right now the module is working and I'm writing this announcement
with the new fox.
There is one thing you _have to_ do before launching firefox for the
first time:
You have to start it as root. Just once. After that you'll be able
to launch it as a regular user.
Don't ask me why that is since neither firefox nor thunderbird has
ever shown such an rather insane behaviour before. I'm still trying
to fix this but it looks like as if the new milestone is designed to
do this. So keep on ranting at the firefox support forums ;-)

Regards,

Moritz
