Mozilla Firebird 0.6 - RELEASED!!!

WOO!! Finally, for all the people who don't like using the nightly builds, Mozilla Firebird is oot and aboot!!

Release notes - http://www.mozilla.org/projects/fire...ase-notes.html
Quote:
* 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 ;-)
Goto the release notes, and MAKE SURE YOU READ THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
