![]() Yeah, let's not let anything actually use our CPU power, *ghasp* what a horrid thought. |

![]() Actually, there is a question that was not supposed to be a question and that, for this reason, carries no interrogation mark at its end. |

![]() I'm also a big fan of Firebird. |
Maniac (V) Inmate From: there...no..there..... |
![]() ok, i'm downloading it. I have 0.6 already but never really used it. Been a big fan of Crazy Browser for quite sometime. |

![]() Mozilla (and firebird) automatically import your IE Favorites. |
Paranoid (IV) Inmate From: France |
![]() I plan to re-install my W2K, and think I'll put Firebird as default browser, and get rid of that Outlook crap and use Thunderbird. Nonetheless I admit I'll use IE since it's still faster for some heavy DHTML stuffs. |
Maniac (V) Inmate From: Charles River |
![]() I still use IE to read the news in the nytimes.com site. |
Bipolar (III) Inmate From: Loughborough, Leics. UK |
![]() I recently d/led Firebird too, I was pretty impressed with it, but I still need to use IE for certain sites as their d/ls mess up in FB. |

![]() CPrompt: IE's favorites are stored as plain shortcuts in a folder like C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Favorites/ while FB's ones are stored as a list of descriptions in a folder like C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Application Data/Phoenix/Profiles/default/xwrzaraz.slt/bookmarks.html. So at worst one ( eventually me ) can do a script to parse IE's favorites and generate an html fragment to paste in Fb's favorites list. In fact, I think I'll go that way since a little more fun than searching/using an application |

![]() Downloaded it and much to my shagrin ctrl+o opens the open box but it will not let me type a URL in there. I simply can't use a browser that makes me click in a box before I can type in an address, thats why I stoped using netscape to begin with. |
Bipolar (III) Inmate From: Berlin (almost) |
![]() Why Crtl-O? Just press F6 |

![]() dmstiner + kuckus: Alt+D also does the trick. |

![]() I've been playing with Firebird a bit ever since I downloaded it to do some testing. I really like it and have started to use it more and more. The tab system is sweet and I like the pop-up blocking. |
Maniac (V) Inmate From: California |
![]() Wow, Firebird is really gaining a following in this place. This is good news |

![]() the only thing i don't like about firebird is that it takes forever to bookmark anything |
Paranoid (IV) Inmate From: France |
![]() Another good point for Firebird 0.7 is the StyleSheet switcher that appear in the bottom left corner when a page have some alternative stylesheets. |

![]() mas: Apparently, all you have to do is put "alternative stylesheet" in the rel attribute of the link tag. Just like that: code: <link rel="alternate stylesheet" title="my other stylesheet" href="other.css"> And, the style switcher icons will appear on Fb0.7. Notice that you can split your stylesheets in several CSS files, and Fb will group them according to the title attribute of the link tags. |
Paranoid (IV) Inmate From: Yes |
![]() I dunno about you guys. But I'm pretty excited. Not just because I have FB and love it, but because it looks like its gaining a lot of new users. Finally a browser (and an open source one at that!) is gaining steam against IE. |
Paranoid (IV) Inmate From: France |
![]() I'm happy about the growing popularity of FireBird, but I fear it won't go outside of the web professionals microcosmos until famous websites ( I think to google, AOL & TW websites, yahoo, amazon ... ) explicitly promote web standards and fight the lack of compliance of older browsers. The mass public is not even aware of the crap they're using and that there's some excellent alternatives. |
Paranoid (IV) Inmate From: Yes |
![]() You have a very good point Poi. I myself am too afraid to install FB on my mother's computer for fear she constantly be calling me up asking whe ebay stop working or other such problems. However, its the microcosm of web pros that BUILD the web, and they'll probably want the sites they make to work correctly on their default browser as well. So I now have faith! and a kickass browser |

![]() Anybody besides me having problems getting FB to properly open .asx or .wma files? It gives them both to me in plain text. |
Maniac (V) Inmate From: California |
![]() Anyone besides me having FB 0.7 display ugly grey <hr>s in the asylum? They used to be orange... *sigh* |
Maniac (V) Inmate From: under the bed |
![]() For the record: |
Maniac (V) Inmate From: California |
![]() Hmmm, I remember they showed up orange in 0.6, but not in 0.7. Maybe they changed it. Or maybe I'm losing my memory... |
Paranoid (IV) Mad Scientist From: KC, KS |
![]() I've had problems with .asx and .wmv's as well butcher. They open as plain text for me too. |
Maniac (V) Inmate From: Seoul, Korea |
![]() Dang, and here I thought it was only Lacuna who's been set ablaze by the Firebird (sorry, a bit short on metaphors today). Now the only question is whether or not all this enthusiasm will be able to overcome my intense laziness when it comes to installing a new browser... |
Maniac (V) Inmate From: Charles River |
![]() You'll be amazed how easy it is to install Firebird. Just like the old days. |
