    It should be on autoupdate right now, it's probably just downloading it right now if you set it to auto download and install.

    Well, Firefox just auto updated. :) (I think)

    One thing I've noticed lately (maybe longer than that) is that you need to exit Spybot Resident, if you use it, or you'll get a error message saying not all files could be installed.

    Yeah, in advanced mode tools. It will ask about registry changes. Sometimes it's a pita. If they flash on start up, you need to exit resident, so it can take a snapshot and re-boot.

    You can also control your start ups with advanced mode tools. Much easier than doing run msconfig.

    Oh yeah, i forgot. But i really don't want resident shield to get in the way of my p2p client like AVG's resident shield did and it was hard to get out.

    You can allow the change either temporarily, or set it to remember the change. or you can shut it off completely with a single click.

    when you update your firefox to 2.0.0.9 do you loose all those configuration you originally have in 2.0.0.8 such as PIPELINING AND ALL THAT FUN LITTLE TWEAKS YOU DID?

    No, you keep all the preferences you had in your extensions and about:config. But as for pipelining i don't suggest it because it slows down the web designers web server.
