RE: [Cialug] Mozilla Firebird / Thunderbird


Title: RE: [Cialug] Mozilla Firebird / Thunderbird

I been using firebird for a couple of weeks now on a couple of different windows machine.  The startup time is what I like most about it.  I'll use it to view html on localhost, and prefer to kill the browser when not needed, so it's a pest having IE be inconsistent about how fast/slow it wants to load.

In Mozilla and Netscape 7, there's an option to auto-complete best match.  I
don't see that option in Firebird.  In NS 7 (and I believe Mozilla too, but I'm
on NS 7 now), in preferences, Smart Browsing, there's an Advanced button.  In
here, you can tell it to auto-complete best match.  I'm sure I can edit a file
in Firebird to do it, I just haven't spent the time yet. :-)
