polyglory · January 7th, 2004

shox,

Thanks for that, will give it a whirl

B~B · January 7th, 2004

I use IE 6.0.2800 at the moment. If I d/l and try Mozilla or Mozilla Firebird, will it upset stuff or will both work?

**sboulema** · January 7th, 2004

you can run IE and Mozilla and Firebird all at the same time, and they wont conflict wtih each other

**SPeedY_B** · January 7th, 2004

You can run IE, Mozilla, Mozilla FireBird all together if you want, you can even run 2 copies of moz (stable/nightly)

**X-Istence** · January 7th, 2004

That is the cool think, Mozilla FireBird doesnt touch any settings, and doesnt use the registry (Clean deinstall :P)

**SPeedY_B** · January 7th, 2004

hides the damned conf files from you though (if you're new to it and not knowledgeable to where they are) which doesn't cause a problem, but when you remove an app it can be annoying to find bits left over.

Hopefully that will be rectified once FB comes with an installer

**X-Istence** · January 8th, 2004

Uhm, their not hidden, they are put there where all standard windows programs also dump its ****, and windows apps leave their **** behind there as well. They dont remove it when its uninstalled.

Just a note, when you use FireBird on Linux, it creates a .phoenix folder in your homedir, same sort of concept.

**Heeter** · January 8th, 2004

I am using Firebird .7

When I am downloading a file, is there someway that, as it is downloading, It d/l's directly to the specified folder, instead of into the "temp" folder first then, when complete, transfers over to the specified folder?
