.6.1 is really absolutely fantastic. They've made some enhancements. It now renders pages at stupidly fast speeds. Its keen.

Since I installed the last version, after they changed the name to Firebird, I changed the name of my shortcut so it says Phoenix.. ^_^;

I'll make a note to get this when I wake up.

I'm using Firebird now. It's not bad actually. I hate the icons in place before images are downloaded but that's only a minor drawback.

I'll upgrade from Phoenix 0.5 when they have an easy way to transfer in your old bookmarks. God, I hate doing that manually.

must use bookmarks from the local settings folder. wish they'd done that when i was switching from mozilla to phoenix.

Nice rendering speed too.

Wow, it kept my bookmarks and everything.

(stupid question: what do I do with my old Phoenix files?)

Bleagh. I tried Phoenix but it's just so annoying because it does wierd things with my login names. Messes up the cookies and such.

I find mozilla better than Phoenix because of the integrated email and IRC system. As I have my email program and browser open all day during work, it's easier to have it integrated.

Firebird is ok too, I have it on all my other computers, with mozilla on my main work computer.
