10/23   For all you Firebird enthusiasts out there.  Has anyone tried
        Thunderbird?   Is it worth switching to over Mozilla?
        \_ I personally don't like windows mail clients, I prefer pine.
           but my dad seems to like Mozilla's client the best.
        \_ 0.3 is a huge improvement, but is still a little frustrating
           in some ways (previously used OE, trying it out, tempted to
           go back...).  Compaction is annoying (as in Mozilla), esp.
           when you sometimes use unix to check mail as well; a shortcut
           to compact all folders would help.  Lots of minor issues (why
           can't you list the "to" field in the pane? ...)  But the
           customizable tools bars are a huge win over Mozilla...
           \_ err... v 0.3 is out?  I couldn't customize tool bar on
              version 2.
        \_ Speaking of which.  is there anyway for any of those windoze
           mail client that has 1. regular expression filters for email/
           USENET newsgroups, and 2. synch with Palm ?

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.

           \_ Phoenix, Firebird, Firefox.
        \_ I've read a lot of bitching about the theme, but there really are
           some problems with this release.  The new extension website isn't

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,

3/25    Hey, what do some websites pop up extra windows on your screen?  Is
        there any way to turn that off?  I'm using Win 98, IE 5.0
        \_ http://mozilla.org/products/firefox
           \_ 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
        diseaster.  I am switching back to Firebird until they iron out
        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

1/29  My roommate's computer (IE6) keeps getting all her requests for
      http://yahoo.com redirected to http://yeah.com.  She swears against all spyware.
      Any idea how to get rid of 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
        SMTP servers.  -John
