Mozilla Firebird is a nice browser

Post by Hamel »

I was frustrated with Mozilla because importing your IE favorites was near impossible. Firebird automatically imports all of your IE favorites, saving time and frustration.

I just downloaded it, and I'm dinkering with it.
"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

Why is it so goddamned hard to get little assholes like you to admit it when you fuck up? Is it pride? What gives you the right to have any pride?

And it certainly worked for me in 1.4 :?:
'Next time I let Superman take charge, just hit me. Real hard.'
'You're a princess from a society of immortal warriors. I'm a rich kid with issues. Lots of issues.'
'No. No dating for the Batman. It might cut into your brooding time.'
'Tactically we have multiple objectives. So we need to split into teams.'-'Dibs on the Amazon!'
'Hey, we both have a Martian's phone number on our speed dial. I think I deserve the benefit of the doubt.'
'You know, for a guy with like 50 different kinds of vision, you sure are blind.'

Mozzy 1.4 here and it works great for me. :) I never had a problem importing my IE favorites into Mopzzy 1.1 and it never 'lost' em in an upgrade. Well, until I nuked the HDD once and reinstalled from scratch. A:>FORMAT C: /y <enter> will tend to fuck things up a bit :)

I certainly have never had a problem with this issue when using the full installer packages. The only problem I had was with version RC 1.0 , which did manage the importation quite well, but you couldn't delete, modify or move the imported IE links. This was fixed in v1.1 and has worked ever since. This is the first I've ever heard of this problem occurring, and is probably uniquely specific to your system for whatever reason.
