Why should you switch to the firebird browser?


I had been looking for a decent page to send others to find out about the Firebird browser and I finally found it here:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firebird/why/

If you step aside from their boasting, its an informative page:
Quote:
Mozilla Firebird empowers you to accomplish things online faster and more efficiently than any other browser, period. Offering the industry's best implementations of features such as Tab-Browsing and popup blocking, as well as a horde of other seamless innovations, Firebird stands out ahead of every other web browser.


There's a quick link to the download page too. File sizes currently about 6.5Mb for the Microsoft Windows version. Can't remember what it is for the linux version.

http://www.mozilla.org (vastly improved new design) has linked to a post here: why a leading technology commentator has made Firebird his default browser.

Interesting bit about AOL too.

I finally tried the Firebird browser the other day and I have to say that I really liked it. But I was wounding if it just me or do some pages not display properly? Other than that I had no problem with the browser really nice.

It may just be a web design issue if the page doesn't render properly on Mozilla Firebird.

Let me know if any page off this site looks weird for you when using the browser...
