Mozilla Firebird Soars Into View

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the birds-planes-and-browsers dept.

About a zillion people wrote to announce Mozilla 0.6, but asa was the first: "Mozilla Firebird 0.6 (formerly Phoenix) is available for download. This release features a fresh new look, a redesigned preferences window, preliminary support for Mac OS X and much more. Read why you should be using Mozilla Firebird and get the latest release." I'm not exactly clamoring for a new web browser, but it looks worth checking out.

    ... what are hte main differences between Mozilla and Firebird and why do they seem to be advocating one of their products over another?

    If you are asking about the difference between the current Mozilla Browser and Mozilla Firebird Browser then it's basically a directional change.
    Read the Mozilla Road Map to see why this is being done.

    The difference between Mozilla, in gerneral, and Firebird is that one is a web browser and one is a RDBMS.

    And the Mozilla crowd said people wouldn't confuse the two....

    Passing on information... in a story about Firebird? Quite frankly, jackass, no one cares if your shitty browser can do things half as well as Mozilla/Firebird for infinitely more money.

    Why doesn't someone mod this guy as flamebait?

    Stick to your piece of shit IE. We definitly don't want people like you to begin with.

    Everyone doesn't want the features you want, by adding features like that to firebird you end up with a bloated piece of shit.

    Just because some asshole is too lazy to install an extension or to click 1 button over on the mouse to open in tabs is no reason to add many lines of code to the source.

    I try to get more users, file bug reports, provide support and help the linux newbies install it.

    We = current user base, maybe if you tried to use what little brains you may have you could have figured that out.
