I'm running Firefox 9.01 on Ubuntu, and every time I start my browser the firebug first run page for this release is shown. This is really annoying. Can you advise?

Try to set it manually (using about:config) does it help?
Sebastian,
The currentVersion pref is indeed set to 1.9.0 here. I have also tried undoing the change I made to showFirstRunPage and the behavior seems correct - it isn't loading every time I start Firefox anymore.
Sorry if I have caused confusion with what is obviously an intermittent and local issue, but I do appreciate the help.

Last update I got in today makes one of my web applications unable to load. Took me a while to discover it was Firebug, lol. Here is a screenshot of the message I get in the regular Error Console screen: http://xkcd.nl/dUt/s-4c750443f08c
Just wanted to note, that the summary links at http://hacks.mozilla.org/2012/01/firebug-1-9-new-features/ are not working.
From where did you download 1.9.1?
When you enter chrome://firebug/content/branch.properties as address what do you see then?

Thanks for the feedback.
Even when it's working for you now, I have now a clue how something like this can happen.
We have two places where the version number is set. One is branch.properties and the other one is install.rdf. Honza, we should try to get rid of branch.properties and let the JS files the ANT script read the version from the install.rdf instead.
