離Firefox 2.0.0.8才12天，Firefox更新版本Firefox 2.0.0.9的正式版在美國時間11月1日正式開放下載，這次更新是解決掉2.0.0.8的一些穩定性問題。

另外代號為Gran Paradiso 的Firefox 3還在M9開發中，應該會在近期發行，。有經驗的電腦使用者、網站開發人員和程式設計人員可以下載Firefox 3測試，先行熟悉。


有興趣使用Firefox 2.0.0.9且使用Windows平台的用戶，可以點選Mozilla方面釋出的Firefox 2.0.0.9 繁體中文正式版下載連結，這也是目前官方推薦給Windows平台的最主要Firefox瀏覽器版本。另外，Linux與Mac OS平台的版本也開放更新下載。

這次更新是解決掉2.0.0.8的一些穩定性問題，內容為：
Bug 400406 - Firefox will ignore the “clear” CSS property when used beneath a box that is using the “float” property. There is a temporary workaround JS/CSS code available for web developers with affected layouts.
Bug 400467 - Windows Vista users will get “Java not found” or “Java not working” errors when trying to load Java applets after updating. To fix this, users can right-click the Firefox icon and “Run as administrator”, then browse to a page with a Java applet — doing this once will fix the problem and permanently restore Java functionality.
Bug 396695 - Add-ons are disabled after updating. Users can fix this problem by opening their profile folder and removing three files (extensions.rdf, extensions.ini and extensions.cache)
Bug 400421 - Removing a single area element from an image map will cause the entire map to disappear. There is no workaround available at Bug 400735 - Some Windows users may experience crashes at startup. There is no workaround available at this time.
