Mike Healan Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 I've been using Mozilla forever, and finally decided to take the plunge and install Firebird 0.6.Thank God it has improved since the first Phoenix build I tried last year. Raw Gecko with a minimal window wrapped around it. It was horrible. It's not bad at all now.Has anyone been able to get Firebird working with Mulitzilla? I use its features constantly in Mozilla and really need to get that working if it's possible. I installed the .xpi, but when I restart the browser, it doesn't show in the extensions list.Also, how about prefbar? That's another one I use all the time, but the site has a warning about Firebird: The current version of the PrefBar is 2.2.2, build 20030228. It should work with Mozilla 1.0 and up, as well as Phoenix 0.5. This version of the PrefBar does not work with recent Phoenix nightly builds or any future Phoenix release.Has anyone gotten it to work on 0.6?

GolfProRM Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Both extensions that you've listed are Mozilla-only extensions... They will not work in Firebird, BUT There are a few Firebird extensions that provide similar functionality. :)Instead of Prefbar, try this: http://texturizer.net/firebird/extensions....tml#PrefButtons This will give you some of the buttons for Color/Javascript/etc.Also you probably want the X extension: http://texturizer.net/firebird/extensions.html#x This one allows you to clear your cache/cookies/etc. from a toolbar button.Here's the User Agent Switcher: http://texturizer.net/firebird/extensions....gent%20SwitcherAs for MultiZilla... Most of the features from it have made their way to Tabbrowser Extensions: http://texturizer.net/firebird/extensions....er%20ExtensionsIf you use the "fullscreen" feature from Multizilla, try this: http://texturizer.net/firebird/extensions....20Fullscreen%29Hope this gets you up and running on Firebird!

Mike Healan Posted July 23, 2003 Author Share Posted July 23, 2003 Both claim they'll work on Firebird (Firebird 0.5 anyway, maybe not in 0.6).What I really need are the toggle buttons for javascript, send referrer, proxy on/off, and "resize to 800x600" that I use in pref bar. I can live without multizilla since googlebar installed fine. I have buggy proxy software from my ISP that I need to be able to bypass quickly, because a lot of web servers don't work with it.I'll look around the extension list for something that fits.
