Firebird vs Firefox...?

[Deleted member 4644]

How do they compared?

They had to change the name from Firebird to Firefox because another entity owned the Firebird name. You can find the release notes for Firefox 0.9 here.

GREAT? Mmmmm I don't know yet. I'm still stuck on how I get a "go" button to work in the thing. I want to be able to paste a url in the address field and without having to reach up and hit enter to launch it. I went to the extentions page and found one called paste and go - well with that I have paste in the url and use ctrl-shft-v or some sh!t...going in the wrong direction. Now when I went to uninstall it. I launched FireFix (giggle) and for the last 20 minutes it's been "finishing installing extentions"....does the word buggy apply here too?...

All I want is a go button and this FireFox (giggle) may move up a notch on my list...
