What's New in Mozilla Firebird 0.6: Version History of Mozilla Firebird 0.6
Mozilla Firebird 0.6 sports a crisp, fresh and attractive theme, based on the amazing Qute theme by Arvid Axelsson. Also, the new theme has icons for the Bookmark Manager toolbar.
- Redesigned Preferences window
The new Options window puts the most often used preferences into seven convenient panels, each with a descriptive icon selector.
With a single click (and a confirmation) you can clear all privacy data including form data, history, cache, cookies, etc.
Among other bookmark enhancements, the Bookmarks menu now features a context menu. Try it by right-clicking on a bookmark in the menu.
You are now able to submit Talkback information when Mozilla Firebird crashes, which makes it much easier for developers to fix critical bugs. For more information read about Talkback in the FAQ.
With this feature, Mozilla Firebird shrinks any image that is bigger than the window to make the whole image visible. When this is done, the cursor over the image changes to tell you that if you click, the image is restored to full size. Instructions on how to disable this feature can be found here.

- Access to more preferences
You are now able to edit lots of advanced preferences that are not exposed in the Options window by entering about:config in the location bar and press Enter.
You can now install Mozilla Firebird extensions in your own profile folder instead of in the actual program folder. This means that you will be able to upgrade to new versions of Mozilla Firebird without losing all your extensions. Note that it's up to the extension authors to allow their extensions to use this functionality. Some extensions may not offer this as an option yet.
Mozilla Firebird is available for Mac OS X. It's still quite rough around the edges but it's a start.
There have been too many bug fixes since Phoenix 0.5 to keep track of them all. It's better. Trust us ;-)
About: Mozilla Firebird is a free, cross-platform, graphical web browser developed by the Mozilla Foundation and hundreds of volunteers. Before its 1.0 release on November 9, 2004, Firefox had already gained acclaim from numerous media outlets, including Forbes [2] and the Wall Street Journal. With over 25 million downloads in the 99 days after its release, Firefox became one of the most used free and open source applications, especially among home users. On August 15, 2006, Firefox had its 80 millionth download, about 10 months after the release of version 1.0.
With Firefox, the Mozilla Foundation aims to develop a lightweight, fast, intuitive, and highly extensible standalone browser forked from the Navigator component of the Mozilla Application Suite. Firefox has become the foundation's main development focus (along with its Thunderbird email client), and has replaced the Mozilla Suite as their official main software release.
Firefox includes an integrated pop-up blocker, tabbed browsing, live bookmarks, support for open standards, and an extension mechanism for adding functionality. Although other browsers have introduced these features, Firefox became the first such browser to achieve wide adoption.
Firefox has attracted attention as an alternative to other browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. As of April 2006, estimates of Firefox's usage share range from 8% to 10% of overall browser usage (see market adoption section), and is even higher on tech-oriented sites frequented by early adopters. Firefox has reduced Internet Explorer's dominant usage share, and may even reignite the browser wars.
