downloading… My IE sis screwed up right now so… either mozilla… or reinstall Win XP!
Question: Is firebird just a toned down Mozilla? Or is it just another browser to code for cross browser?
it is mozilla. but only mozilla. no email. no aol schidt. no im schidt… just a mozilla browser that is easy to skin (so I’m told)…
I really haven’t found much (other than a few egotistical portfolio sites, which if they want to exclude visitors, cool) that doesn’t work just the same, or work faster than IE.
I like the way the tabs work in this version better than Avant, and Mozilla/NS7.

I am using it right now, I kinda like it, I will give it a whirl for a few days and see if I like it better than Mozilla… if so I will uninstall mozilla and stick with Firebird.
don’t get me wrong… I haven’t uninstalled Mozilla, yet…
I’m not 100% sold on it yet, but I’m liking it so far…

Yeah I just don’t like having a billion browsers installed if I am not going to be using them all. If I like Firebird more I will uninstall mozilla since I very rarely every use either of them anyway (usually just for cross browser testing purposes or if my IE is acting up)
I installed it and used it for about a day, but it kept locking up my machine so I’ve gone back to Mozilla until they get a more stable build finished. The only part of Mozilla I use is the browser, so if they can get FireBird stable on all platforms then it sounds like just the ticket for me too.
Ive been using it for a bit and like it as well. It’s a little bit buggy but most sites ive been to that it messed up were because their css does not validate.

I’ll keep using it.

**how does your mouse wheel not work?! click on the page and scroll… **
Its not my scroll wheel, its a 3 button mouse w/o a wheel, but, like Nali’s #2 holding down the middle button will give the arrow scrolling thingamajigger (as with many wheels), well in IE, but not mozilla. On top of that mouseIMP doesnt work which is what I always use to scroll so without that I just cant use it. (I dont like wheels that much anyway - their ok for small scrolling but anything greater than a page and theyre worthless)
ok sen i see what you mean now…
rev.
there are tabs? shesh i dont see em…can you show me where they are lol…i know i got them in mozilla but not here in FireBird.
edit: i am using the defalt skin, i got it late last night so didnt have much ‘play’ time with it :thumb:
edit: ok rev so i found out how to make a new tab and all, but here is my problem now…when i want it to open in a new tab it wont, i have to go to File|New Tab. which to me isnt that good of tabbing, unless there is a way to do that, thats one thing that i loved about avant. but i still love this :love: where did you get your skins? i know how to change them just not where to get them :thumb:
I love firebird, I have been using it almost since it came out. The only problems that I have with it are the java applets - I always try and download the update for it when I am directed to the page but it never gives me an option for mozilla or netscape, only IE - kind of a piss off really.
I love the tabbed browsing, my mouse scrolls just fine with it, the scroll button is great because when you click in on a link you get the new page opened in a new tab - very handy. It’s so fast and takes up much less space.
I love it! IT’s my default browser. I also like the control you have over the passwords and such.
when i click on a link it spawns a new window 
grr how can i make is so it opens a new tab instead? i would make it my defalut, i will acctually once i figure that out…
sure shot go to the netscape website and look for the plug in there, or go to the mozilla site and look for installing plug-ins. they have a whole bunch of links and what not.
thanks didpi - I will have a look 
It really hasnt bugged me that much but it does become annoying once in a while.
yeah once you learn how to install them its just findiing them :beam:
btu can someone help me with my tabs? please?
You can press CTRL+T to open a new tab (or go to File/New Tab) or when clicking a link you can right click on it and choose “Open lin in new Tab”
ok thanks lost, so there is no way to just have it auto open in a new tab?
just click with your center mouse wheel, or customize your toolbar, or use the center wheel to click on a tab…
many ways Mike…

Hmm… sounds great… I’ll give it a try when I get home. I love Moz so far and have had no problems with it. But if this loads faster - all the better!
Ren, you are on a mac right? i am using Safari and love it. but i am going to try Camino, looks to be really good, and only for OS X. w00t. http://mozilla.org/projects/camino/
but if you dont use safari try it, so FAST.
