Mozilla Firebird Rocks! I just downloaded and installed Mozilla Firebird 0.6 and I must say - it rocks! With the Luna Blue theme and the startup time enhancement, this browser is awesome. On my 2 GHz/512 MB Windows 2000 box, it's still a fraction slower than IE to open (.75 seconds vs. .5 seconds), but it's soooooo much better than IE, that I doubt I'll notice the difference. Very cool Team Mozilla - you rock! Posted in The Web at Jun 03 2003, 09:07:43 AM MDT 1 Comment

Two points on MSIE speed.. One, MSIE even recently was using a maligned header repsonse to get pages faster.. Two, as part fo the bootup process of all windows OS products except win95 or older MSIE was partially booted up withint the process of OS start up.. any MOzilla engine wil not approach MSIE open times on windows..however Mozilla engines especially firebird beat MSIE on MAcOSX on open times!
