This thread is intended as a guide for new Mozilla Firebird users.
Please look for information on these pages and sites linked from here first, then use the MozillaZine Search Function before starting new threads! Thanks. ----------------------------------- The Firebird Project Page: http://mozilla.org/projects/firebird/ The Release Notes of the most current Mozilla Firebird Release, including what's new and known issues: http://mozilla.org/projects/firebird/release-notes.html Download Mozilla Firebird releases and latest/other nightly builds: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firebird/releases http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firebird/nig ... test-trunk http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firebird/nightly ---------------------------------- Mozilla Firebird Help, a comprehensive site with a lot of useful information, including links to Themes and Extensions: http://texturizer.net/firebird/ ---------------------------------- Before reporting bugs, read the bug writing guidelines. ----------------------------------- If you have a Feature Request, please take a look at the extensions on Mozilla Firebird Help first. An example: many of the tab features missing in the Mozilla Firebird core are provided by the Tabbrowser Extensions. ----------------------------------- Bonsai, the Mozilla Firebird tree control, useful to look for recent checkins/bug fixes to the tree: http://bonsai.mozilla.org To see only Mozilla Firebird-specific checkins, set "Directory" to "mozilla/browser mozilla/toolkit" (without the quotes) and choose a Date. To see all checkins to the Mozilla trunk, choose "Query SeaMonkey" from the menu (most of these fixes are automatically picked up by Mozilla Firebird). An automated approach to accomplish basically the same: http://backprop.net/mozilla/bonsaibugs http://backprop.net/mozilla/bonsaibugs/ ... ch=phoenix Last edited by laszlo on December 23rd, 2002, 9:41 pm, edited 1 time in total.

I am rarely on mozillaZine, so please do not send me a private message. My Old Firefox config files if you're looking to customize a bit, you can look at this page i set up. it's pretty plain now but i'm working on it.
![]() ~ http://flii.blomp.com here are some links all crammed together with descriptions that might come in handy. i won't bore you by listing them all here. ~ http://end.at/phoenixlinks For information on what plugins are available and how to install them, try:
http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/ To see what plugins you have on your computer, paste or type the following into your address bar: about:plugins If about:plugins finds a plugin that doesn't seem to be working for you, the file may be somewhere other than your Firebird plugins directory. Copy the file to your Firebird plugins directory. In Windows, most plugin files are named np*.dll, though a few have different extensions. If you have previously used Netscape or Mozilla, you can copy files from those browsers' plugins directory to the Firebird plugins directory, and they will usually work well.

As you may recall, back in the olden days of 0.4, Phoenix had a distinctive taskbar icon. Now, all you see is the generic windows system icon. Don't like it? Instructions on how to change this can be found at the <a href="http://texturizer.net/firebird/tips.html#app_icon">Mozilla Firebird Help</a> site.
Here's a nice icon set: http://iconpacks.mozdev.org/moz11icons.zip ---------------------------------- In your profile directory, you'll find a binary file called XUL.mfl. If Mozilla Firebird starts doing strange things, e.g. running slower than usual, or crashing on sites that it previously browsed successfully, etc., try closing Firebird and deleting that file. It can't hurt, and it may help. ---------------------------------- If loading of pages from a given site suddenly becomes intolerably slow, flush your cache.

Until the uninstall feature for extensions is implemented (bug 170006), use this procedure as a workaround:

I'm starting to think that this should be required reading for any post about Features or Preferences. Mozilla Firebird now has a plugins FAQ, which should answer most plugin-related questions.

If you're not using Firefox, you're not surfing the web, you're suffering it.

Instead of renaming all firebird to firefox, I'm un-announcing this post, and unlocking FAFQ.
Please add stuff to FAFQ that is not already covered (and thus avoid duplication) If you're not using Firefox, you're not surfing the web, you're suffering it.
