To me, their best reason to upgrade to Firebird is the elimination of lots of bugs.

The roll over effect on the links in my nav bar makes it a bit more user friendly.
And it automatically imported everything for me :) which is just perfect.
Thanks for giving me the list of features, I've been sold.
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.
Disable this on the client side goes like that:
// Turn off Automatic Image Resizing:
user_pref("browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing", false);
simply put this in the user.js file.
But, as with automatic image resizing in IE, which can be disabled with a meta tag, is there a way to disable it for Mozilla Firebird too or will Firebird react on MS meta tag too?
It's my round...

Hmm, interesting. What's the meta tag that disables automatic image resizing in IE?
Is Firebird on the path to greater bloat?
Seems to me that all the Mozilla derivatives are getting fatter. Skipstone is about where Galeon was about 2 years ago, and Galeon snapshot takes up more memory and has less features than the pre 1.2.x versions.
Firebird is a nice browser, but it isn't small.
But compared to IE - it's nothing.
You said this is a lean, lightweight browser, but it's {7MB; 9MB}! I laugh at your silly lies!Take it easy, sport. Phoenix is already 35% smaller than Mozilla. It's also worth noting that we're still carrying the weight of many Mozilla files that we've replaced. For example, we still build and ship with Mozilla's form manager, even though we now have Satchel, its lighter replacement. Phoenix also still contains a lot of Mozilla's chrome (front end) files, even though it has its own. Heck, it still has files used solely for Mozilla mail. We're still trimming the fat and we expect to be able to hit something near 6 MB (Windows) and 7-8MB (Linux) before we're done.
They may trim about a meg off of the download, however this statement is not in the release notes for 0.5 or 0.6.

Hmm, interesting. What's the meta tag that disables automatic image resizing in IE?
I might be wrong here:
<meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no">
Does this only stop the image toolbar from appearing while hovering or does it also stop the images from automatic resizing?
I know it's a user setting. This comes from microsoft.com:
"Automatic Image Resizing is turned on by default. But you can turn it on and off by using the Advanced tab on the Internet Options dialog box."
But then also:
"Automatic Image Resizing is turned on by default. It works only when you navigate directly to pictures. Internet Explorer cannot resize pictures that are embedded within HTML pages."
Well, this seems to be enough for an own thread. Well, so far, I only hope that automatic image resizing won't be used for pictures embedded in HTML, at least not by default.
