Firebird 0.7 / Thunderbird 0.3 released!

[Ferocious]

How long till 1.0 is released? A year maybe?

I tried 0.61 and I'll probably need at least 1.0 before dropping IE6.

Call me a wimp.

A question for any of you firebird gurus, is tehre a specfic way to get java to work with mozillia? Cause everytime i try to view an applet or something of that nature it says i need a plugin. Even after i get the plugin. is tehre anyway to get it to work?

You'll need to switch a registry entry to get Java working. The mozilla installer does it for you but since Firebird doesn't have an installer you have to do it manually. Do a search on the Firebird forums for the proper process.

Flash also doesn't seem to work for me. why didnt they include an installer?

- Flash... You may have to download the stand-alone version of flash and simply copy/paste into your plugins folder.
- Shockwave... This will detect Mozilla properly and put the plugin in the right directory automatically (if you have problems use the above method.

Maybe i'm a lazy bastard but those are too much manual works for me. 😀
I will stick with IE for now

I like MYIE2 better than Firebird.

 

[WolverineGator]

Super cool. Thanks LordJezo. Firebird rocks! I'll also install Spiderzilla and Click to Play Flash plugins.

 

[Kadarin]

Thanks Jezo!

Actually, there'san extension for it.

 

[PlatinumGold]

i like the google toolbar (extension). you don't need mouse gestures with this version. it seems faster.

nice upgrade.

 

[Indolent]

that's odd. I extracted it to my firebird folder but it still says I have version 0.6.1....

*edit* looking at properties of mozillafirebird.exe says modified october 7, 2003 though... 😕

It's a good practice to make a new profile when you install a new Firebird version. Sometimes little problems will crop up if you don't. If the plug-in doesn't see the browser then you'll need to point to the plug-ins folder. Different people have different situations with this for some reason.

The mozilla forums are a great place to do a search. Firebird forums

 

[neilm]

I've been using mozilla before, but I've now since formatted... so which should I download, mozilla or firebird? If ya can give a reason that would be appreciated too 🙂

 

[Sephy]

Clear your firebird folder and reinstall. Also try deleting your profile if you have further problems
Firebird is fantastic. I run optimized builds for Athlon XP, and I'm in love. Have been for awhile 🙂
I miss the IE engine though. Pages look better when they're built for IE, in IE.

How does Thunderbird look? Can someone host a few screencaps, since there don't seem to be any on their site? I'm happy with Outlook, but I might install the set on the upstairs computer.

 

[mpitts]

It is much faster on my G4. I liked 0.6 and used it as my main browser, but 0.7 is much quicker and it supports my mouse shortcuts for back and forward.

Woo!

 

[aceO07]

Thanks for mirror. Mozilla.org seems to be down today..

 

Thanks for the mirror jezo, downloading right now 😀.

 

[Tetsuo]

Ok...I got the compact menu extension and I accidently removed all the other menus, other than file...how do I get it back?

 

[Jinny]

i'm already using firebird and thunderbird. is it better if i just use mozilla 1.5?
