>>Everything looked awful. Images looked bad, poor CSS support at major websites, ugly looking interface

You sure this wasn't IE6 you installed? ;)

But seriously, your criticisms don't seem to reflect reality -

Images looked bad - as Hester said this isn't really possible

Poor CSS support at major websites - I've been using firebird as my default browser for more than 6 months and I have yet to come across a single site that did not display CSS correctly. If you're talking about sites (badly) coded specifically for IE bugs then I guess that is a different issue, although I've found this to be extremely rare.

>>ugly looking interface

Again this is a strange comment. If you're comparing it to IE, the differences are barely noticeable (and easy to change)

If you don't like/don't want to use Firebird then that's entirely up to you. It would be nice if your criticsms were rather more constructive however.

In any case, thumbs up from me for Firebird. The only real problems I've found are with javascripts on some sites that have only been tested in IE. I've yet to recommend this browser to anyone who was disappointed with it.
