Phoenix is a redesign of the Mozilla browser component, similar to Galeon, K-Meleon and Chimera, but written using the XUL user interface language and designed to be cross-platform.
What's New?
New default theme Mozilla Firebird 0.6 sports a crisp, fresh and attractive theme, based on the amazing Qute theme by Arvid Axelsson. Also, the new theme has icons for the Bookmark Manager toolbar.
Redesigned Preferences window The new Options window puts the most often used preferences into seven convenient panels, each with a descriptive icon selector.
Improved Privacy Options With a single click (and a confirmation) you can clear all privacy data including form data, history, cache, cookies, etc.
Improved Bookmarks Among other bookmark enhancements, the Bookmarks menu now features a context menu. Try it by right-clicking on a bookmark in the menu.
Talkback enabled You are now able to submit Talkback information when Mozilla Firebird crashes, which makes it much easier for developers to fix critical bugs. For more information read about Talkback in the FAQ.
Automatic Image Resizing With this feature, Mozilla Firebird shrinks any image that is bigger than the window to make the whole image visible. When this is done, the cursor over the image changes to tell you that if you click, the image is restored to full size. Instructions on how to disable this feature can be found here.
Smooth Scrolling Instructions on how to disable this feature can be found here.
Access to more preferences You are now able to edit lots of advanced preferences that are not exposed in the Options window by entering about:config in the location bar and press Enter.
Profile Chrome You can now install Mozilla Firebird extensions in your own profile folder instead of in the actual program folder. This means that you will be able to upgrade to new versions of Mozilla Firebird without losing all your extensions. Note that it's up to the extension authors to allow their extensions to use this functionality. Some extensions may not offer this as an option yet.
Mac OS X Mozilla Firebird is available for Mac OS X. It's still quite rough around the edges but it's a start.
Lots of bug fixes There have been too many bug fixes since Phoenix 0.5 to keep track of them all. It's better. Trust us ;-)
10x! Meteen ff uittesten maar Gereageerd door NiMS op :
Ik heb hem getest en vind hem erg leuk. Alleen vind ik het enorm jammer dat hij niet integegreert met de standaard mozilla omgeving. Dus ik vermoed dat ik hem niet meer zal gebruiken. Erg jammer dat wel. Wat wel handig is, is dat het nu ineens een browser is geworden die met opera kan concureren. Firebird is namelijk nog maar 6MB!
