That's Win32. The Linux build isn't up yet.

Does 6/5 build fix the Ctrl-W bug? (in 6/4, it became impossible to close the last remaining FB window by using Ctrl-W)

So I guess MNG support is gone now. Damn shame...

You call that a "bug"? I call it a very desirable option! How can I make it happen?

Try installing Tabbed Browinsg Extensions. That causes that behaviour (which I agree with you, I like

I always accidentally close my browser by hitting CTRL-W too often).

False.

Just by looking at that link you can see that the default throbber has been replaced and the backspace problem was fixed. Those look like changes to me. That link also only shows the last two weeks. Version 0.6 was released on May 17th. Since then there have been fixes to the bookmarks and it looks like there was an XUL fix as well.

Not to mention all the changes to the underlying Moz code....

Maybe there haven't been any MAJOR changes (although I'd say that dropping MNG support is a pretty big deal) to Firebird, but I imagine that will change once they freeze the tree for Mozilla 1.5 -- and I don't think that's too far off either.

UHHH? Backspace was not a Firebird problem, it was a bug, which got fixed... not a new feature/change

The Trobber being gif? well hot damn that is like huge... no wait

Any Mozilla trunk changes doesn't count BTW :)

Hey, isn't few changes a good thing? That means that Firebird is starting to mature and soon the dev's can start work on optimizing it to run even faster!

*Looks at web panels*

Oh yes

How about the build?
Seams that nobody wrote about the build, how stable and fast it is...

It works, get it... Back to off topic :)

I thought that the point of Firebird is that Mozilla is mature, and that we should take out a bunch of the features so that they become extensions, and optimize it so that it is faster.
