I downloaded Firebird, Mozillas Web browser. I must say, I'm quite impressed with the look & feel of the browser, and look forward to seeing it replace Internet Exporer in the future. However, It seems as though MovableType is NOT Firebird compliant... There are missing buttons on the 'New Entry' page, and div tags aren't quite handled the way they are supposed to.... or at least the way that im used to. In addition to that, it prompts me to remember form information on EVERY form I fill out, despite my clicking *Never for this site* or deselecting the remember form information in the options menu. Its driving me nuts! If anyone else out there is having the same problems, let me know, I don't want to be the only one... Or if you can solve mine, I'd appreciate that even more!

Posted by: mkrueger at August 22, 2003 02:43 PMKyle, your blog is the only one that allows me to use this text box to post messages using my old and antiquated netscape version 4.7 on my sun box. Whatever you did or didn't do to make this possible, you should be very proud.
Posted by: renk at August 22, 2003 03:13 PMI'll just breifly take issue with the notion that firebird has too many bugs. I've been using it for six months.
1) It's the same rendering engine as mozilla. It's actually the same source code. They render pages the same way.
2) So far, in every case, I've found that pages that validate at w3c.org work correctly in both firebird and IE. If anything, I've found some aspects of the CSS standard that don't work in IE. The only real complaint I've got is speed & memory usage.
3) Look at the plugins. I'm editing this comment in emacs instead of a broken browser editor.
Anyway, that's FWIW. Can't let people bash what seems like the best browser yet built without saying something. Course, I'd do it differently (i.e. better), but that's another story...
