If it's anything like its' predecessor, it'll be awesome!

Phoenix / Firebird / Firefox -- Version 0.8

I love firebird. I'm sure I'll love firefox as well.

here's an ftp link that acutally seems to be working for those of u that can't get through the http server...ftp://mozilla.isc.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/0.8/

Not too much different for those of us who continually download nightly builds.

This is one quick browser!

wtf, what happened to my scrollers?

Thanks, just upgraded my Firebird that I have been using for about 2 months. I got it from teh FTP server (look up) at 220 KB/s with FlashFXP. The download is always from the FTP, but most internet clients take about 30 seconds to start contacting an FTP in my experience and therefore a dedicated FTP client is helpful.

Thanks for the link - downloading now.

EDIT: Is anyone else unable to select "Additional Browser Enhancements" in the custom Windows installation?

Nice speedy improvement to IE.

 

[Wolverine27]

FireFox rocks!

 

[substance12]

can you just install over 0.7 or do you have to uninstall first? i dont want to risk losing bookmarks or settings.

 

[wileybot1]

i installed in a new directory (not over 0.7) and i have all my bookmarks, settings etc.

 

[DrPizza]

Why not just copy your bookmarks to a different directory, just in case?

Not really that different from 0.7, either. Downloads and bookmarks are managed a little differently. The most important new feature (for me at least) is support for filetypes (such as .wma) that have been incorrectly stored as text files. Now they will play properly rather than fill your window with garbage.

Thank you for hosting it - could not get to the original site

 

[quincy2002]

Still using Firebird 0.6, time to upgrade. Firebird kicks butt. I never touch IE any more.

 

[Yo2]

Wow seems very snappy - I like it

 

[wallsfd949]

I was able to install over 0.7 in the same directory. All plugins remained as well as bookmarks.


Great browser..

1. Bookmarks-->Manage Bookmarks
2. File-->Import
