The New Mozilla Firebird.

Mozilla Firebird 0.6 is out. I got the Windows version and it's pretty awesome. The preferences have changed a lot, but some are no longer selectable. And they added smooth scrolling which doesn't do anything for me. Also, the current “Open in Tabs” behavior is to replace all current tabs, which is not my preference. The new default theme is pretty awesome! It looks very “Windows”, which is good, I guess.

Oh, nevermind about that complaint about inaccessibility to advanced preferences: type about:config in the addressbar. And nevermind about my smooth scrolling complaint: change general.smoothScrolling from true to false. To fix the tab replacement problem, change browser.tabs.loadFolderAndReplace from true to false.

Now I'm happy.
