FireBird : The net your way. Review on Firebird Internet Browser

Before I start writing stuff about FireBird let me give your some news about Netscape.

News : AOL the parent company of Netscape has stopped the development of Netscape Browser so the version

7.1 shall be final for Netscape.

The company laid off all the employees has has taken the logo out from the building.The developers although shall continue to supoort the browser Mozilla which is a open-source browser.

Mozilla has found a new organization named Mozilla Foundation.

Mozilla FireBird as their website mentions is a ’’lean,mean browsing machine’’ and I bet no one can stop them from saying so.

It sure is one of the best browser there currently is on the web,with feaures that would put IE to a shame.It surely beats IE by a margin which I suppose IE could never ever think off.

INFO:

FireBird is made from the source code of Mozilla,so you get the same stability that you get from Mozilla only in this case you don’t get a Mozilla Mail Cleint but a plain browser.

INSTALLING INSTRUCTION

FireBird is available for download from mozilla.org and this browser comes in a .zip format type of a file.

So all you have to do is download the zip file which currently is of size 6.8MB.Then unzip the file into your Hard Disk and double click on the icon which looks like a Gozilla.

THE FIRST LOOK

Believe me on my first look at FireBird I didn’t like it,really(I mean the looh...not functionality).But then I installed this theme named BlueMonkey then there was no looking back.

Never again did I click back on the Opera icon(YA!! I HATED IE FROM THE START).

What’s in FireBird

FireBird has many many features which I surely would like to tell all of you.

1)Tabbed Browsing - Tabbed browsing basically means you can open new windows within the main window.

So now you taskbar isn’t crowded.All you have to do is press CTRL+T.

2)POP-UP Blocking - POP-UP blocking is inbuilt in FireBird so you can now rest assured that there aren’t the annoying small windows opening up now and then.

So no third party software.FireBird automatically does the work by showing a small icon on the bottom of the screen( A blue icon ).

3)Integrated Search - FireBird has built in search facility which let’s you search Google and dmoz.org from the browser.All you have to do is enter the thing you want to search select the search engine and press enter.

So now you don’t have to visit google and then key in the words.

4)Skin’s - FireBird is fully customizable, so now you can download skins from the website,all you have to do is visit the site and click on the link and wait till the skin is downloaded.

5)Extensions - You can have FireBird do all the things you wish by installing extensions.Visit the websites select the extension of your choice and then simply click.
