seantech Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 Damn, she's fast. She made her moves before I could even think om mine! Her name? Mozilla Firebird. Her Version? 0.6 I just installed it in linux. Installed might be a big word, I merely unpacked it and ran the executable. Once I did, i saw pages coming at me at real great speeds! Heh, talk about getting the maximum out of your internet connection ;) So, who else has gotten hooked? Sean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vande198 Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 MozillaFirebird is truly good, in my opinion. Fast, simple, versatile, and relatively feature rich. I'm eagerly anticipating the developments that will lead MozillaFirebird to be THE Mozilla Browser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyv Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 You are missing a few options lke: It's fine but i like something else better I prefer to use the mozilla suite which works great for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MottS Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 0.6 is in the portage tree (Gentoo). I'm emerging it right now.. will give it a try since it is GTK based and I want to switch to XFce. MOttS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MottS Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 Well not bad. But I don't see much differences with Konq... ??? I emerged mozilla-firebird-bin. I guess it would be faster if I would have compile it. Anyway. MOttS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 I use the daily builds and update daily. I looove firebird. It's sweet. fastest browser i've used. Yet to and not enthusiastic about tryin Opera. Idon't want the ads. And i am not payin I don't have a lot of ram or space so Firebird is perfect!!! And i don't need Composer, or Mail or IRC so i don't use full Mozilla. Besides it's a lot slower. one of my Windex using friends loves it too. I have nothin but praise for Firebird. You might have noticed that i always reccomend it. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 I will maybe leave Opera behind and move to Firebird and Konq. Firebird is a lot better than Mozilla (full). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuoJing Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 I love the speed and simplicity but it's still a little buggy right now with a few sites that I frequently visit, and also doesn't work very well with flash. If they fix these in the next version it will be the best browser, IMO. Sticking with Mozilla 1.4 for now - it's a lot faster than previous versions. I love it 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 Anyone try Thunderbird(mail)? Thunderbird is a Mail-News client meant to compliment the Mozilla Firebird. Thunderbird has support for IMAP, POP3, NNTP, multiple accounts, powerful filters, spell checking and a smart junk mail filter. Thunderbird is now built with Xft enabled and is my prefered Email program. http://www.mozilla.org/projects/thunderbird/ I also like firebird. **side note** I've used opera, and I didn't care for it.
