Comments on: What’s new in Mozilla Firebird 0.7 http://www.squarefree.com/2003/10/10/whats-new-in-mozilla-firebird-07/ Jesse Ruderman on Firefox, security, and more Tue, 06 Jan 2009 04:22:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: caiuschen http://www.squarefree.com/2003/10/10/whats-new-in-mozilla-firebird-07/#comment-110 caiuschen Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.squarefree.com/test/wp15/wordpress/?p=44#comment-110 Thanks very much for your summary. Your site has been invaluable for identifying which new builds to use, and I've managed to switch three people from IE to Firebird with help from The Burning Edge. Some of it was in selecting the build with some of the features that I wanted to show off, but staying stable. One person, though, was impressed by the visible trail of daily development. Again, thanks! Thanks very much for your summary.

Schneier Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.squarefree.com/test/wp15/wordpress/?p=44#comment-112 Hi, I have been waiting for someone to comment on 0.7's cookie problem that I have encountered in the Firebird General Forum. This problem does not appear in 0.6.1 but with most of the versions I tested (both the nightly and the Athlon XP versions) up until the end of last week. Not being able to work in sites because they require cookies is, I think, a major problem. Do you have thoughts on this at all? Thanks, BLS Hi,

The following is general advice for when something doesn't work for you but works for other people. If you unzipped 0.7 into a directory that had an older build in it, try unzipping it into an empty directory. (Overwriting an old build without completely deleting the old build often causes problems.) If that doesn't help, try using a new profile. BLS: I haven’t heard of that problem with 0.7 branch builds.

Please don't take this as me whining for a fix, I understand and appreciate that the developers have priorities and limited time. I'm just saying that perhaps we shouldn't trumpet a feature until it's properly implemented. To my knowledge, bug 216170 remains unfixed, and limits the usefulness of the Send Link feature.
