The Firefox title bar issue is not fixed for me.

Hmmm .... I just updated to WB 8.09 and now I am unable to open My Computer or my file manager Directory Opus.  I can open Windows Explorer.  

If I set the WB theme to Windows Aero, I can open My Computer and Directory.  I just can't open them with anyother theme.  Very odd.  I downloaded WB 8.09 twice to make sure I didn't have a corrupt d/l.  I installed on top of 8.06.  I also uninstalled 8.06 and did a fresh install and activation.  Same result.

I'll revert back to 8.06 since this was a minor update and I was having no problems.  If others have this issue, I assume there will be a fix and new version will be issued.  Otherwise 8.06 is good enough for me.

I updated to 8.09 working fine

Updated mine and it still says 8.06

I upgraded on Windows 7 and now Skype won't work. Everything you click on just says "Invalid image list.". So I uninstalled Skype, cleaned the registry several times, re-installed and same issue. Sure Hope I can get the older WB (8.06) from someone.

 

OK, went back to WB 8.06 and Skype 7.0.59.102 works fine now. Hope no one else has the problem.

LightStar - I went back to 8.06 too and have everything working again.  I'm wondering if I should have installed 8.09 as the administrator?  I've not had to do that with any earlier versions.  I think I will sit tight and wait to see if more problems appear before I try that.  8.06 works great ... and you know what they say about if it ain't broke.

Another thought as I finish typing this is the DPI fix mentioned.  I know you and I are both using 2560x1440 resolution.  Wonder if the issues we see might be related to the "high display DPI" change made in 8.09?  Just grasping at straws here.

We are not aware of any changes which should cause issues that some of you are having.

What anti virus are you running as perhaps there is some sort of interaction issue.

Updated mine and it still says 8.06

 

I had the same problem when I attempted to upgrade to 8.06: WB kept reporting 8.05 while ODM reported 8.06. I had to uninstall WB, then clean the registry. Installing WB 8.06 then reported correctly.

I have the same problem after upgrading to 8.09: WB reports 8.06 while ODM reports 8.09.

Obviously something is being missed in the registry when upgrading.
