Yep, browsing with it right now... :) Hoping that a few of the bugs I noticed in 0.6.1 have been fixed... ;)

Got the new version for my WinXP box and my RH9 box. I'm digging it.

the current lack of themes is disappointing, texturizer seems to have cut many...... is it a compatibility issue?

It loads up pretty quickly. faster than IE as it seems to me. i have added lots of plugins/extensions and cannot see any difference in speed (good that they are not bogging it down).
loving the rendering. pretty nice.
though i dont like the way it handles some form elements. the textarea, buttons are something I feel could have been done better.
its been just 2 hours and its my default browser now :D
bye! bye! IE...

bye! bye! IE... Yep, Firebird is what if finally took for me to dump IE. I was no big fan of IE's CSS support (or lack thereof) and no fan of M$ (surprise, surprise) but every other browser that I tried had little quirks that were enough of a pain to keep me from switching... Can't wait for it to hit the release version at 1.0

I'm using it, but when I load up PHPbuilder, the Flash ads cause the pages to slooooowww doooowwwn. It's a bit annoying.

Well, the theme maintainers need to adjust their themes, and some are either too busy, or in the case of the Phoenity themeset, do not have the technical know-how, only the design skills.

Wish they'd hurry up and release updates... I miss my Orbit 3+1. (Broken on Mozilla 1.5 as well)

Looks good, and I do like the feel...
Doesn't seem to like javascript dropdown menus though....
Not quite my default browser as yet... although I wouldn't mind making it so if only they worked.... (yes it is enabled...)

Sounds like an issue with the code/website to me. I've seen/coded plenty of Javascript/ECMAscript dropdown menus that work in the Gecko Engine (aka, adhere to W3C DOM)

Indeed. It's not the browsers fault that web developers use proprietary M$ crap...

Very odd, I did doubt my code on it, so tried it on another as well, still no joy...
If you know of a site that has dropdowns that do work with Firebird let me know so I can see what code they are using ???
Mine does check out though, so dunno... odd...
