# all the icons were wrong
because it's a different browser to internet exploder. Did you actually give it a chance? Not only is it faster and friendlier than IE it's also a damn site more secure 'cos it doesn't have that activeX bollocks that nobody apart from spammers and virus writers uses any more :)

Oh, and Mozilla and Firebird are 2 completely different things.....

# not completely!
and it's going to replace mozilla in the future!
*100% fact*

# I say wrong
they were the old Netscape 4.5 icons all jumbled up and not quite fitting into the spaces. I used to be a dyed-in-the-wool Nestcape user, but after 7, it all went crappy, and mozilla was the same story. For me at least.

# you should really try out firebird!
it doesn't even need to be installed!

# we need version numbers....STAT!
Here's a screenshot of my firebird setup:

clicky!

no dodgy icons there, and they've been the same since I started with FB at 0.6 or thereabouts :)

# I just love firebird!
It has the same feel in all OS's

# s'fab innit :)
Best thing is, the 0.8 tree is even faster than 0.7.....I just wish I had some modern coding nous so I could contribute....bah.

# b3ta without mozilla just feels terrible!
i've been using it for 2 years now and IE feels like a complete joke!

# Mozilla 1.4
Maybe. Thought I'd uninstalled it, but there's something labelled 'Mozilla 1.4' in my add/remove window.
It was November/December time, 2002.

# oo bloody 'ell,
that was the time *I* tried Moz for about a day and swiftly binned it faster than something that was binned quickly.

Seriously - get Firebird 0.7 (stable) or if yer feeling brave one of the nightly 0.8 builds. You won't regret it!

# OK guys
*looking up & down @ once*
I may consider it. IE does piss me off sometimes. Not remebering what size its window should be, only wanting to save as bitmaps when there's too maby cached files, I could go on...

May give firebird a go when the rest of my life is balanced. New browser is quite an upheaval, no matter how good it is. Thanks

# that's mozilla-mozilla...
firebird is version 0.7 now!
try it and you'll love it!
the old mozilla is a bit clumsy compared to firebird...
