I downloaded the zip file and ran the exe file with the parameter -p. I created a new profile, then a Firebird window came up and the status bar said Contacting www.mozilla.org ... and it hung there. Nothing else happened. After 5 minutes I ended the task. I repeated this twice and the same thing happened both times.

Kay, your bugreport is less than helpful. Which firebird build did you use? 0.6 or a current nightly build? Are you using a proxy server to connect to the internet? What is your network configuration?

>>Which firebird build did you use? > >the one I got when I clicked on ><http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firebird/releases/0.6/MozillaFirebird-0.6-win32.zip That is Firebird 0.6, our latest official release, but already quite old in terms of development. Please take a look at http://texturizer.net/firebird/bugs.html before reporting any bugs in the future. >> Are you using a proxy server to connect to the internet? > >Not on purpose; however, we are a Neilson Ratings household and their software >puts this information in >Internet Options... > Connections... > Lan Settings... >Checkbox checked: Use a proxy for your LAN (Thses settings will not apply to >dial-up of VPN). > Address: 127.0.0.1 Port: 8010 >Checkbox checked: Bypass proxy server for local addresses. Internet Options apply to Internet Explorer only. You have to duplicate these settings in Firebird via Tools->Options->Connection Please test this again against a current nightly build as detailed above and report back. Thank you.

When Firebird starts, the status bar says “Transferring data from texturizer.net…” A click on the Stop Loading button is ignored. Then when I click on Tools, I get the Not Responding message. Thereafter I can do nothing except end the program. > > Please test this again against a current nightly build as detailed above and > report back. Thank you.
Whiteboard: still not fixed
I installed Mozilla 1.4 - Browser only option and it is working. I shall wait for the release version of Firebird before trying again. Now that Netscape is going to disappear, I wanted to be sure to have another option besides IE. I am really glad that Mozilla is not going anywhere. I have really enjoyed using Netscape.
