Firebird 0.7

[bsdgeek]

No, it's not the official release. But, there are some nightly builds which could very well end up being the final. (release candidates)

I read a little on the firebird forums, and they were all saying it was much faster than 0.6.1. I thought they were fudging it a little bit, but I tried it myself and it's damn speedy!

As a side note though, it seems to have some troubles working with my old plugins. (tab extensions, autoscroll, though autoscroll appears to work anyway )

edit: reinstalled extensions, working ok now.

excellent! looking for an alternative to IE 6 that is fast enough. I actual love mozilla, but i think its load time is just too long.

Thanks for the tip BSDGeek!

OMG! I love this browser. My past experienecs of Mozilla is good, but slow.

Firebird is great. Overall its ok, but in terms of surfing experience the real moailla i think is better, dunno why. (this browser is a bit slower to load things?)

But hell, this browser loads very very fast, as fast as IE!

Well, guess what, I set this as my default browser

Az, I knew you'd make that post when I saw the topic

I tried the latest Firebird but nothing can sway me from Opera.

[Nowhere]

oh c'mon az, signature isn't enought and you have to jump on the preaching bandwagon everytime we talk about Firebird? (yeah, I know, rhetoric question...otoh, when was the last time when we jumped with firebird in your Opera threads? )

Using Firebird since quite some time now. Better Tabbed browsing than any other browser (including opera) AND IT'S FREE.

[az]

OK, I promise I'll stop polluting Firebird threads if you stop saying its tabbed browsing is better than Opera's

(Still, I'm curious - how is it better? I didn't like it as much, don't know why)

must be personal preference

Pretty quick. I am fooling around with dualhead as I temporarily have another monitor (Just an aside) Dualhead seems to be a lot less overhead than on the G400

Is there an easy way to upgrade vom 0.6 to 0.7? Replacing the .exe from 0.5 -> 0.6 didnt work.

[bsdgeek]

Just extract it and run, it should pick up and use the old profiles.

Hmm that didnt seem to work, the build i downloaded doesnt even seem to do anything once i click the firebird.exe.
