OT: Firebird 0.7 / Thunderbird 0.3 released!!

Confused

As many of you don't venture out of DC, thought I'd post here too as well as in Software 🙂

I've just noticed that Mozilla Firebird 0.7 and Thunderbird 0.3 have been released! 🙂

Go get them from the New-look Mozilla.org!

For those of you who are Firebird free at the moment...shame on you! It's a brilliant browser, much much better than IE IMO! 🙂

Check it out! 😉


Confused
 
Better than Opera? I have noticed my opera browser locks up a lot and takes up a lot of resources. I need a replacement.
 
I would recommend Firebird but can't seem to get the download started. 🙁

I guess that's what happens when they release new versions of Mozilla, Firebird and Thunderbird on the same day 😉

Or the site gets slashdotted 🙁
 
I have been using .7 for little over a week and love it. I am not sure of what the differences are but it seems a little faster to load. Make sure you utilize the extentions, they are great!!!! I can't live without the flash click to view, makes it to where if a site has a dang flash graphic, I have to click it to see it, so now I am never bothered by these goofy things. Plus if you are on dial up, you wont have to download them so you will surf a little faster. Firebird rocks. I have not used thunderbird yet, but will be playing around and hopefully switch my wife from OE to it.
 
I will have a mirror up also. Should have a good 7gig of bandwith left this month so hit it with all you got. 😉

EDIT: The mirror should be up now. Firebird

I only have firebird up but if you guys need thunderbird let me know. I figure Confused mirror should be good enough for you guys but I though I would help out some too. 🙂

Oh yeah thanks for the mirror confused I couldn't have gotten them with out it!
 
I love the install or lack there of with this thing! I just remove the old Mozilla folder put this one in and I am good to go with all my bookmarks and everything. Well except for my theme.....
 
Well I have noticed a bit of a bug. There is now scroll bar! I have been using it for a few hours and didn't even notice!
 
I'm trying to download Mozilla 1.5, but it seems to be a bit slow. Guess I'll have to wait until later (dasm slashdotters)...
 
Just my luck. I switched to 0.6 about a day before 0.7 came out 😛

It's a big deal if you're on dialup!

I would stick with .6 for now! I just found another problem. You cannot set a bookmark to a specific folder....
 
oops, D/P😱

Thunderbird is great...I've been using it since well before 0.1 was available, I usually download the build of the week and it great seeing to product go from strength to strength.
