The name has changed to Mozilla Firebird, but next version will be
changed to mozilla browser.
So I don't change the name "phoenix" for this version.
What's new from release notes
* New default theme
Mozilla Firebird 0.6 sports a crisp, fresh and attractive theme,
based on the amazing Qute theme by Arvid Axelsson. Also, the new theme
has icons for the Bookmark Manager toolbar.
* Redesigned Preferences window
The new Options window puts the most often used preferences into
seven convenient panels, each with a descriptive icon selector.
* Improved Privacy Options
With a single click (and a confirmation) you can clear all privacy
data including form data, history, cache, cookies, etc.
* Improved Bookmarks
Among other bookmark enhancements, the Bookmarks menu now features a
context menu. Try it by right-clicking on a bookmark in the menu.
* Automatic Image Resizing
With this feature, Mozilla Firebird shrinks any image that is bigger
than the window to make the whole image visible. When this is done,
the cursor over the image changes to tell you that if you click, the
image is restored to full size. Instructions on how to disable this
feature can be found here.
* Smooth Scrolling
Instructions on how to disable this feature can be found here.
* Access to more preferences
You are now able to edit lots of advanced preferences that are not
exposed in the Options window by entering about:config in the location
bar and press Enter.
* Profile Chrome
You can now install Mozilla Firebird extensions in your own profile
folder instead of in the actual program folder. This means that you
will be able to upgrade to new versions of Mozilla Firebird without
losing all your extensions. Note that it's up to the extension authors
to allow their extensions to use this functionality. Some extensions
may not offer this as an option yet.
* Lots of bug fixes
There have been too many bug fixes since Phoenix 0.5 to keep track of
them all. It's better. Trust us ;-)
See below for detail.

(lib/${MOZILLA}/plugins). This is a pointless plugin, and only serves
to annoy you every time you access a page that wants an unavailable
plugin. At least mozilla's default behaviour (without this plugin)
gives you the option to tell it "please shut up, I *KNOW* I don't have a
flash plugin, so stop nagging me".

What's New:
A few of the features new to this release include:
* Improvements to pop-up blocking
It is now easier to add sites to the pop-up whitelist and some bugs
in the 0.3 whitelisting display have been fixed. You can add sites to
the whitelist by clicking on the "i" icon in the lower left of the
browser window for sites with blocked pop-ups or you can add sites in
the pop-up preferences panel.
* Improvements to toolbar customization
It is now possible to customize the menubar in addition to the
navigation and bookmark toolbars. This makes it possible to add all of
your items to a single toolbar freeing up valuable web page real
estate.
* Improvements to tabbed browsing and shortcut keys
Phoenix developers have been working to improve basic user tasks like
opening links and loading addresses. A few things that you will find
new and improved in 0.4 are: ctrl+[1-0] will switch between your first
10 tabs. ctrl+click opens a link in a new background tab (you can set
that in preferences to default to a foreground tab) and
ctrl+shift+click will toggle the forground/background
preference. shift+click opens a link in a new window and alt+click
saves link.
* Type ahead find returns
Type ahead find allows a user to start typing to navigate directly to
a link containing that text. To find text that is not linked just
preface your typing with a / character.
* Addressbar gets smarter
alt+d now focuses the address field. Typing a search term (or terms)
in the addressbar and hitting enter will now take you directly to the
top hit on Google rather than the Google search results page and
ctrl+enter in the address field adds a www. and .com to your address.
* Bug fixes
Some people seem concerned that Phoenix developers are just adding
feature after feature without fixing bugs. While it's true that
through 0.4 they've been doing a lot of heavy lifting, redesign and
feature work, the developers are also wrapping up that big feature
push and moving into more of a cleanup and bugfix mode.
* Themes!
Thanks to several theme authors and chris neale at mozdev.org you can
now get themes for Phoenix. As with any 3rd party add-ons, please
don't report bugs with themes to Phoenix. Report your problems (and
your praise) to the theme developers or the Phoenix Skins
forum. Themes available at the time of the 0.4 release include
Bluestreak, Luna, Orbit 3+1, Pinball, and Qute.

Phoenix is a redesign of the Mozilla browser component, similar to Galeon,
K-Meleon and Chimera, but written using the XUL user interface language
and designed to be cross-platform.
