You may have seen that WordPress has been upgraded to 2.8. Will we upgrade? Not at the moment. We’ve found it pays to wait until a 2.x.1 or 2.x.2 version to begin fully weighing the benefits of the upgrade and to begin testing the core plugins we use here. We skipped the entire 2.5 versions and found it to be very worthwhile to just wait.

Google Gears Appears to Crash Firefox
June 11, 2009 – 10:43 am
If you decided to install the Google Gears add-on for Firefox to enhance the speed of using WordPress, you may be experiencing crashes when uploading photos or files or attempting to install plugin upgrades. If this occurs, please simply uninstall Google Gears from Firefox. This occurs while using Firefox 3.0.10.
We haven’t noticed a significant speed increase in using Google Gears with WordPress to warrant keeping it installed for the moment. A WordPress support item (#267278) is currently following the issue.
