Hmm. Interesting.

My biggest gripe about Firebird was that it was slow as hell to respond to hyperlink clicks. I would have to double-click links in order to tell the damn program that, yes, I want to click that link so do so already or you're going to have a meeting with the Recycle Bin.

Then it had a meeting with the Recycle Bin. Unfortunately, Firebird's final curse was to change the file associations of nearly every single type of image file and HTML document, even the stuff I don't handle with IE. Took me a week to get everything back to the way it was, and I hate that in a program.

No way in hell am I going to download this and use it unless there's a way to cleanly uninstall it and reassociate all of my file associations. Maybe I'll try bombing it on my sister's laptop, hyuck hyuck.

Edit: And another annoying thing. I understand how profiles work and all, but that's for different people using Firebird/fox. I have multiple accounts on my computer, and when last I used Firebird it decided that all of the user accounts should use Firebird by default as well. And, Jesus as my saviour, I have enough trouble trying to teach my mother and sister to use IE without their default browser spontaneously turning into something else unfamiliar.

And I haven't seen a pop-up in months either. Google Toolbar does this without raping my file associations and default settings :P
When in mortal danger,
When beset by doubt,
Run in little circles,
Wave your arms and shout.
