Hi.
Okay, I admit it. I am a very new convert. Hell, I've only just downloaded and installed the Firebird 0.6. I like what I see, given that it's a lot faster than IE. I did actually try a much earlier version when Firebird suddenly became vogue, and I wasn't impressed - It was slower than my sister on a Saturday morning. Not even molasses is that slow. It was also quite a resource hog, I'm on a computer that is considered "archaic" by most dinosaurs, and the earlier version robbed me of my precious resources. But it seems they've improved, and now I kinda regret not keeping up with the development.
Couple of things I don't really like. The first being that clicking on the "Quote" button on IPB boards such as this doesn't work at all, anyone else experiencing this? The post-bar "Reply" is also slow to respond, while the bottom of the page thread reply button (Which this forum doesn't have) is all but instantaneous.
I'd also like to see a click-drag of the address bar actually allow you to select part of the address, rather than not as seems to be the case. When I'm moving from site to site, I tend to leave the http://www where it is and type the rest, but this doesn't seem to be the case.
That said though, I can see this is gonna be a helluva lot of fun :D

When in mortal danger,
When beset by doubt,
Run in little circles,
Wave your arms and shout.
