UKer Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 I've been waiting for this too - loved the recent nightlies - if they're anything to go by this will be the release that gives even more reason for people to switch to FB, especially with the very smart d/l manager.

Drimo Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 I love using Firebird as my main browser, but have they done anything about (for windows): 1. Pages and tabs locking up after loading Java code 2.

OptiPlex Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Woah wait wait, Firebird and Mozilla are the same things? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/138004-firebird-8-next-monday/page/2/#findComment-1696844 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nazgul Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Woah wait wait, Firebird and Mozilla are the same things? No, they're not. Mozilla is an entire "suite" (browser, mail, news). Firebird is only a browser, using some of the base Mozilla code, but written to be small and lightweight. However, at some point in the future, Mozilla as we know it will cease to exist, and Firebird will be known as "Mozilla Browser" Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/138004-firebird-8-next-monday/page/2/#findComment-1696872 Share on other sites More sharing options...
