Uh oh... This is sounding like me I'm on day 5 and have only clicked IE by accident or if a page refuses to run right in Firebird... 1 out of probably 1,000 so farOni said:I was skeptical at first. 'Why replace my IE6? It runs just fine, and does everything I need it to do.' My friend su root turned me onto Firebird. He just kept pestering me about it, so I finally pulled it in, half expecting to turn right back to IE in a few days. One day passed, and it wasn't a bad browser. The built-in popup blocker was nice, and tabbed browsing was a bit of alright.
Two days passed. I moved over my bookmarks w/ relative ease, after expecting a headache about it. I pulled in a few extensions and skins. 'Hey, this ain't half bad!' I said to myself.
By day three, I clicked that Firebird button in my quicklaunch more than IE. By day four, the IE shortcut was gone.
This browser is just too good

I found opera to be bulky/slow, awkward, buggy, slow and ugly... Why do you like it so much? (it was my favorite for a long time until I tried Firebird). And you said you used MSN and AOL... I am assuming you mean IE and AOL's version of netscape or whatever it is? I don't see firebird on there, or any others - there are a lot more than 4 browsers out there.
