I've tried 0.9 and 0.9.1 and 0.9 was okay though a little buggy, so I went back to 0.8. (0.9.1 wouldn't even start, though it was running in the task manager). Don't let me scare anyone away, though. What works for some might not for others, so this page has links to older versions.
You can change the theme (skin) and add extensions to get Firefox to do things it doesn't come "out of the box" with. Firefox isn't bloated with code, offering features you may or may not want, so that's where extensions come in. I highly recommend "IE View" for the times you might need to use IE.
I think this backup program is an absolute must, and especially for the newbies to Mozilla, like me.
Last but not least, here's a forum dedicated to Mozilla users, likely the best place to post with problems. The very first section, "User Support" is open, meaning you don't have to register.

"....Chris Hofmann, engineering director at the Mozilla Foundation, a group developing a family of Web browsers, e-mail programs and other Internet software, said downloads of its latest browser, Mozilla Firefox, doubled this week to about 200,000 a day. Hofmann said the organization sees a spike in downloads whenever a virus or worm exploits Windows vulnerabilities...."
I thought I'd give you a ping. I've been in touch with the IE5 theme maker. He'd done some light patching to it. His link says it works with Firefox 0.9 but I'm using it right now with 0.8 and it's working great. Of course it might not work for everyone using 0.8 (I'm using Windows ME, for what it's worth).
