Is Firebird significantly better then my Mozilla 1.5a build from May/June?

\I answered my own question,

Most Extensible

Mozilla Firebird is easily extended
Mozilla Firebird's user interface can be extended by developers using industry standards such as XML, CSS, JavaScript etc, as well as complex C++ add on modules. Examples of such extensions include everything from relatively simple utilities to advanced tools such as a JavaScript Debugger and Document Inspector. A full list of existing extensions is available here. Extensions are easily installed.

That's why Mozilla Firebird has the best search functions of any browser. Ctrl+K takes you to the Google bar.

Both were limitations in my build.

After 1.5, the Mozilla suite is being broken up into pieces. The browser will be Firebird, the mail reader is Thunderbird. etc.

If you get the Mozilla Firebird 0.6.1 release I think it uses Mozilla/Gecko 1.4 for rendering. If you download the nightly versions though they use the latest Mozilla/Gecko.

My copy is built with 1.5b from Sept 4th.
