are you downloading themes for th correct version of firebird?
there are a LOT of problems themes at the moment, as the majority were actually made for v0.6 or before. and they absolutely dont work with 0.7, not even half work. so you have to make sure you're installing 0.7 themes (I gather that you're using 0.7?)

I dont suggest using the themes function unless you are really sure that you have the right version, and also i would suggest just waiting till the final comes out for FireBird, 1.0 i would imagine, as then the theme support should be stable.

Hello, i've been watching the use of cache in "about:cache". I have created a ram drive but have noticed the memory cache device use will surpass the maximum storage capacity. In this screenshot the memory capacity was exceeded and "storage in use" dropped well below its capacity. Is this a problem? If so, how can I raise the maximum?

I noticed the same thing, Lynchknot. I was using a RAM drive for the cache about a month ago, and got the same results as you. So I dumped it, and went back to the normal disk cache. I never figured out why it did that though.

But it's not the ram disk that is running out of memory space.

My problem was that I set the max cache size on my RAM disk to 50MB, but it would always exceed that amount. I thought that's what you were saying was happening to you, too. But I guess I misread your last post.

And I'm not sure what we're supposed to be seeing in that screenshot.

Firebird Download Manager can't resume properly. Every time I resume it corrupts my download!

I never knew the Firebird download manager was designed to support download resuming. You'd probably be better off using something like FreshDownload or StarDownloader.

I used it as an alternative when sites don't support multiple threads. Now I just use it for small files which don't need resuming.

Hello, I think the ram disk is shown below (screenshot) as "Disk cache device" and it is well below maximum storage range. Above that is "memory cache device" of which I do not know what that is but have found that it exceeds that of it's storage capacity. I'm wondering if that should be set higher and how.

Is it possible to make webpages opened up from the mail part of Mozilla each open in a new page?
