Mozilla Firebird becomes FirefoxMozilla Firebird becomes FirefoxPosted Feb 10, 2004 2:22 UTC (Tue) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313)Parent article: Mozilla Firebird becomes Firefox not to confuse this political talk with technical stuff, but my first reaction to moving from .7 to .8 was how MUCH faster it is to startup. It does seem noticably faster (but some of that could just be expectations, no benchmarks have been done)

Mozilla Firebird becomes Firefox Posted Feb 10, 2004 16:07 UTC (Tue) by tjc (guest, #137) [Link] It's faster for me too. Firebird 0.7 takes about 17 seconds to start the first time from a reboot on my system, compared to about 11 seconds for Firefox 0.8. Both take about 3 seconds on subsequent starts in the same session.I'm hoping that by the time Firefox gets to version 1.0 it will have full support for the W3C DOM level 2 recommendation, but version 0.8 is still failing UIEvents, MutationEvents, and Traversal in my informal test. It's not a big deal, since it's already light years ahead of IE 6 (which fails EVERYTHING except level 1 core), but it would be nice.
