Don't even think of doenloading it, they know of a bug needing files to
be deleted but I've lost firebird use on OS X 10.2.8 and there are no
hints on the web site that work other tham use IE. There must be other
files that have to be deleted to do an install as is you'd never used it
before. What a pain I've always suggested IE users had an alternative
but this does not help my case.

Have you tried Safari, or Camino?

Or Mozilla?

There's lots of choice.

True bit firebird is smaller, faster and works on more sites. The bug
fixes, to read the release notes (!) and to run it from a local disk.

Are you saying version 0.9 is usable? When I tried it, it exhibited
several operational quirks. Additionally, it seemed to be incomplete
(notably, missing "Themes"), so I just went back to 0.8.

Heh. Y'all do realize Mozilla, Camino, and Firefox are all based on the
same core, right? If you get the same version of the core in each, you
should find (and I have in my limited experience testing the three
against each other) the exact same results with page rendering. I've
not upgraded to 0.9 yet (if it ain't broke, I suppose), but in the past
everything's been pretty much the same within the pages.
