w00t i am now browsing with FireBird. Its kinda like a striped down Mozilla build, so its way faster. I havent been going this fast on a browser since i was on my mac like 2 seconds ago with Safari (fastest browser i have ever used, eat that :P).
i recomend trying it!

The negatives I found in firebird and why I will never use it:
You can’t click the address bar and then highlight certain parts of it for some reason. A wierd bug.
My scoll button does not work.
Many of the flash sites I went to for some reason couldn’t detect that I had flash installed on it, so they’d send me to their “you don’t have flash, download it” page.
By using it I’m not supporting Bill Gates.

Nali::
you may have a corrupted download of it… (?)
_all of the above are typically untrue of firebird_
…I know the drive I am currently on has crash problems with mozillaStuff but the other drive does not… and I’ve figured it is more likely due to needing a reinstall

I know dipi. I dl’ed it and put it in the plugins folder and I could come onto the forums and see footers and stuff. But some people’s sites (points finger at kirupa) still redirected me to their “you don’t have flash” pages.
WDE rev :P.

Firebird is cool but it has problems with either my mouse wheel or mouseIMP so therefore it becomes unusable to me. Its currently my secondary browser

I just downloaded it and it’s so fast. Some stuff is kinda funky, but that’s ok. It’s great. =)

there are a few idiots/iceholes who ignore the fact that there are other browsers out there than IE…
other than that, I love the browser…
I have uninstalled AvantBrowser (sorry Jubba)… much quicker with Firebird…

Rev, I’ll use firebird as soon as they fix those 3 things I mentioned. I liked the tabbed browsing thing, and the fastness. But I can’t browse without my stuff like the mouse wheel and flash and the click and drag.
But I’m guessing that the next IE will have tabbed browsing and will be faster, so i’ll prob. end up sticking with it :P.
But at least I’ve tried out about 3 extra browsers than IE. Just didn’t like them.

I just don’t understand…
my mouse wheel works… as a matter of fact, when you click a link with the center wheel, it opens in a new tab…
I can also select anything in the addy window…
hmmmm…

Ok, I’m using firebird right now, and here are the problems just on this page:
1). the reply box is about 1/2 the size it should be.
2). I can scroll with my mouse, but I can’t hold in the scroll button and then go up and down.
3). I can’t see the image you posted rev.
4). check message length messed up the reply box.
5). The reply box gets horizontal scroll bars instead of just forcing long words to split in half and go to next line.
6). I can’t see footers.
So just cause you like this more doesn’t make it better rev.
GO MR. GATES.

The only problem with mine is the reply box size man, Are you sure you’re using version 0.6.1? You need the latest stable build most likely.

I’m not trying to convert you Nali…
