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.

    If it gets to 1.0, and if it does cookie-blocking properly (deny all by default, allow as needed).

    What exactly are you smoking?
    I just tried Firebird .6 and it was very noticeably slower than the latest Camino and Safari on my machine. (not to mention all the stuff that doesn't work)
    Sure it's faster than IE and Mozilla, but what isn't?
