Upgrade Your Internet
Firefox 0.9.1 (the bugfix upgrade) is now out. It’s not typical for Mozilla to do a bugfix on Firefox but the general consensus is that a patch was quite needed.
As for news aggregation, I’ve found the newest and coolest way of doing things, Bloglines. They’re a free online service that aggregates your newsfeeds and does a damn fine job of it. At first I was quite hesitant because I really don’t want my list of feeds getting eaten up if Bloglines goes under or decide to start charging. Thankfully, they smartly implemented an export button that gives you the ability to save your current RSS addictions as an OPML file. Other fine features include newsfeed recommendations based on relationships between what you and other readers share as subscriptions. Even better, you can share what you read. Lastly, they have a sweet notifier plugin to Mozilla/Firefox. If that’s not your style they have other notifiers as well. Slickness.
[update] Ironically, I tried the Firefox/Mozilla notifier for Bloglines only hours before I read about the new release. 0.9.1 Seems to break the Bloglines notifier. So sad. :(

I actually really like Firefox. It was a lot better then i was expecting it to be. I just wish i could find an extension to make links “hover” like in IE.
