Mozilla Firebird (Phoenix) 0.6 is out
Faster and cooler than before, with some minor appearance changes too.

downloaded it, tested it....
Result: not a slightest bit faster than "fatboy Mozilla"
conclusion: I'll continue to use old mozilla untill they are a bit more "done" with it

Big deal

Faster at what? It loads a hella lot faster on my system, and it sure as heck renders faster than IE does. It does appear that the memroy footprint has been increased though, thats kinda irritating.
Oh well, I still prefer it to any other browser out there. It's also nice that they finally added an option to outright disable password saving and form autocompletion.

Your machine is either unbelievably slow or totally f*cked up...
Phoenix is quite a bit faster for most everything than Mozilla.
I do have Mozilla installed together with Phoenix, but only because of it's email client. And with the release of the seperate Thunderbird email client I guess I won't have to anymore in the future.Comment

Or maybe Technoid system is too fast that there is not much difference in which case only people with slower machines benefit from the newer code?Life is a bed of roses. Everyone else sees the roses, you are the one being gored by the thorns.

I doubt it. If Mozilla is only a fraction slower than Firebird, something's fishy.Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw. Running WinXP.Comment

woohoo! it's been a good while since I've been in here raving about Phoenix, 0.6 rocks
Look, I know you think the world of me, that's understandable, you're only human, but it's not nice to call somebody "Vain"!Comment

okay, let me clarify:
Mozilla took 4 sec to start.
Phoenix took 3 seconds to start.
(and that is so small that it can easily become the same after a defrag)
pages renders/loads exactly the same.
I suspect that the reason that Phoenix loads faster for some is that it requires less memory (less than half of Moz )
BUT: i have 1024MB memory!!
That's probably why it don't seem to load any faster on mine
