Known Issues

This list covers some of the known problems with Firefox 0.9. Please read this
before reporting any new bugs, and watch it regularly (we'll update it as new
bugs are found in the release).

If Firefox 0.9 is placed in a location with limited access privileges, it 
should
be run by a user with access to that location first, so that all initial 
startup
files are generated. There may be issues still where if a restricted-access 
user
is the first to run the app, these files may not be generated properly and
Firefox may enter an infinite restart loop. This will be fixed in a future
release.
