Mozilla 1.6b

I've been test driving 1.6b and while it's very stable, it's also pretty slow compared to 1.5 and I can't really see any difference in functionality.

Reckon I'll just keep on with 1.5 and wait for 1.6 final. Wink

But I still like it.... I use Firebird and Moz 99% of the time anymore. Very Happy

I'm starting to like this 1.7a quite a bit. If anyone wants to try it, it's in the nightly builds. I didn't know it was 1.7a until I unpacked it.

The 1.6 final is out now. I haven't tried it yet. But I still like 1.7a. Wink

1.6 final could be worth a look.

ack...... i'm still using 1.5 final..... .guess i'd better get with the program Very Happy

BTW..... i've switched over to mozilla more as a couple sites won't allow firebird access.

Is 1.6 or 1.7 worth the upgrade ??

I haven't tried 1.6 Final, yet. But the 1.7 trunk build is mighty fast.

The site specifically allows only CERTAIN browsers.... so I had to use something besides firebird. I still like how fast firebird works and do use it alot.

(it's a site i use for combining all my email and sorting the stuff out..... normally just for IE users..but mozilla works.)
