The earlier this link gets posted in a new thread, the more effective it is.

The 2003/07/31 still works fine with me but the new build just crabbed even after installed to a new directory. No theme at all and the tools options won't work as well. Is this unique to me or has somebody else encountered the same problem?

You will definitely need a new profile. Also, there are few themes that work in the new (since early 2003-09) versions. You'll also need the most recent extension version of your extensions. All well worth it, though: 0.7 and the 2003-10 0.7+ builds are really quite good. In fact, the 0.7 rc's are the best-behaved builds I have seen since the 2002-11-15 Phoenix build that I use for reference.

I hope I did not imagine this but it starts real fast on my engine. But takes a little longer to render webpages..

Seems like a good build to me.

First impression is that it's a bit faster than 0.6.1 and it has felt solid up to now. I still haven't added back all the themes and extensions that I usually use, though.

I also don't think that this is the official v0.7 release. There would be a big hullabaloo from both the devs and the community about it if it were true. This is just another RC before the official release that's likely to come this next week (Seamonkey v1.5 is supposed to be released the first week of October).Seems faster.

I agree, this is a RC--Or we would see news of 0.7 Official
release on mozilla.org & the new firebird home page.
Sighs---waits patiently for the Official 0.7 so I can
get an Aebrahim G7 build on 0.7.
Pssssst--this is the first week of October

Im testing this build now in my D drive: I dont need a new
profile. I copied my plug ins etc. to the D drive and edited the firebird.reg to point to the D drive version im testing so flash and shockwave would install properly. It does seem stable. I tested
them here and they are installed/working as they should.

Already did some online banking and its solid there too.
This is a very nice build. Can hardly wait for Aebrahim to get
his hands on the final release next week.

Can anybody confirm that the Option "Block images from..." is back?
In my build I can see it...
