10/15   Are there any Moz Firebird mirrors out there? on CSUA?
        \_ For which OS?
        \_ Windows build .7 is in /csua/tmp
                \_ did it work for you? the file seemed corrupted (WinXP)
                   \_ yeah didn't see any probs, and the md5s match.
        \_ They generally recommend starting out with a new profile for
           new releases.  Just wondering, what do people move over from
           their old one, other than their bookmarks? (is it easier to
           port the cookie lists/etc, or just nuke and start from scratch?)

10/16   Any comments on IceWeasel?  I think they should call the Debian
        fork "DireFox" instead.
        \_ Phyrefawkes
        \_ Debian releases are always old, maybe they should call it
           Firebird.

6/15    Firefox 0.9 is out:

           \_ Phoenix, Firebird, Firefox.

3/26    I recently installed FireFox for a couple of people in the office.
        Now they're using it so much that they want to remove IE. Is this
        possible with WinXP or does it break like a crapload of things?
        \_ I managed to get rid of IE somehow... I think I went
           into the portion that lets you remove parts of added on
           windows stuff, like MSN explorer and MSN messenger,

        there any way to turn that off?  I'm using Win 98, IE 5.0

           \_ Seconded.  Firefox is pretty much the only game in town nowadays.
              \_ what? Mozilla can also block pop-ups, and FireFox is beta only

2/17    For those who even THINKING about upgrade your Mozilla Firebird
        to Mozilla Firefox, wait a bit. I've upgraded mine and it was a

        the bugs in the download management.

2/7     I just installed FireBird for the first time today after Mozilla
        kept on crashing in an old, underpowered Linux machine. I've never
        seen a browser this amazing before. I mean, seriously, the first
        browser upgrade that really blew me away was Netscape 3.x. Firebird,
        while still in beta, recaptures that experience. I immediately
        started installing this thing on every machine that I use. This

1/26    stupid question which i am having problem to find answer via google:
        how to change MIME setting in Mozilla Firebird?  For example, the
        ASF file is being opened in mplayer.exe (the older version of Windows
        media player) instead of wmplayer.exe (WindozMediaPlayer v9).
        I couldn't find anywhere to edit this behavior.  I have looked in the
        "Download" tab in option as well as rdf files in my profile.  Thax

1/24    Can someone recommend a good mail client for Windows that nicely
        handles multiple mailboxes, each with its own outbound server (I
        need IMAP + TLS) hopefully besides Outcrook?  Tried Opera, Mozilla,
        Firebird, Pegasus, none of them particularly seem to like multiple

2/19    I program a lot by sshing to a Linux cluster.  So I'm used to using
        Xemacs to code.  This works fine from a Linux or Windows workstation,
        but sometimes I have to use a Mac.  On Mac, the meta is usually
        bound to option, but that often doesn't work over ssh for some reason.
        This makes using emacs a real pain.  Any suggestions on how to fix it?

3/15    Why does MS put double-quotes around the '8' in Windows Server 8, like
        the following?
        - Windows 8
        - Windows Server "8"
        \_ Because when they didn't do it, code didn't see the '\0'
           and went over?  Looks better than '8','\0' *shrug*

12/21   In Emacs, how do I make it so that it will resize its screen
        when the maximum resolution of my monitor changes? When I
        use my laptop, my emacs is too big (and I can't resize it
        because the bottom-right corner is not accessible).
        \_ Which OS?  Can't you drag the top border (not a corner) to resize
           the height to be smaller?
