I "upgraded" from Firebird 0.6.1 on my WIndows XP box at work to Firebird 0.7 today. In doing so, and going by the instructions to remove the existing MozillaFirebird directory and then replace it with the directory for the 0.7 release, I happened to lose all of my customization settings.
I would think this is an issue that will need to be resolved if Firebird is to expand beyond a pure techie following, a real installer and settings database will be needed, that can withstand updates and new installations.
I have not tried to upgrade to Firebird 0.7 on my linux box at home, but I will certainly try that tonight, and hope to not run into the same issues there.
If I'm purely missing something, or not following documentation (there isn't much to begin with), please let me know.
Otherwise, I really do love Firebird, you just need to make sure you install a few of the "Extensions".
I've also found that you can make your browsing experience much faster, by mucking with a few of the settings in about:config.
