Mozilla 1.4 or Mozilla Firebird 0.6?

[krackato]

I've been using Mozilla. I tried Firebird a while back (when it was still called Phoenix). It was fine, but I was already used to Mozilla. I'm using a nightly build of Mozilla described as version 1.5a and I think it's great.

Unless you are using another OS besides Windows, I don't see why you would need anything other than IE. Out of the two options, Firebird is the more developed.

Well I do most of my webdevelopment on my laptop and I have to have several browsers to make sure everything works crossplateform. For that reason I use firebird since it is the same code base w/o the mail client and every thing I dont care about. But anyway since I had it on here I started using it one day, and like it much better than IE. It seems to be snappier and more streamlined, but thats probably a result of good coding, something MS is not known for most of the time.

Firebird is a much better brower. However, Mozilla have email built in & it support WebDAV for calendar sharing.

Thunderbird = firebird's add on mail client

tabbed browsing = sweetness

I love Firebird 0.6 except for the annoying autocomplete bug......if you have several browser windows open and you start filling out a form and autocomplete pops up....it's almost guaranteed that Firebird will crash and burn:disgust: Disabling saved form information in the options doesn't kill off autocomplete for whatever reason. That's my only gripe with Firebird. If anyone knows a fix for this please let me know....I was at the Mozilla forums and didn't find an answer.

Any clue how to fix this problem?

autocomplete in general is the only thing that I hate about firebird vs iexplorer (well, I have also never been able to get shockwave to work either, but I don't view that as a big loss).

I have been using firebird exclusively for the past few months (and mozilla before then), but I still wish the autocomplete was as good as IE's is. Currently, firebird almost never fills in any name/password boxes for me!

Firebird > IE.

Tabbed gives it the advantage. It's really nice to use. Not tried Mozilla, but Firebird rules, and is stable.

Firebird isn't as stable as I'd like. But the tabs are handled way better then any IE frontend, so I use it
