User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1) Gecko/20030728
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1) Gecko/20030728

i have downloaded newest firebird 0.6.1, unpacked and used for a month.
Everything was OK. I downloaded quicktime plugin and a few another, and had to
add some registry settings (for proper identification - some plugins weren't
able to identify Firebird without these entries). 
and today i downloaded new flash 7, because quick time has some errors in
playing flash swf files. It properly identified Firebird browser, but after
first installation nothing happened (webpages with flash still weren't
playable). I have run installer second time (some plugins "like" it), and then
my well known Firebird turned into simple Mozilla, but:
 - i cannot use "back" or "forward" buttons
 - when i type address into address bar and hit enter, hothing happens, but i
can use links from other pages
 - some things in menu don't work.

apparently, Firebird turned into Mozilla completely, with Mozilla's menus,
options, buttons and everything. 

OK, that's all. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Firebird 0.6.1
2. Add registry settings for proper identification of broser (link form your
support page)
3. Install newes flash7 plugin (flashplayer7installer.exe, 658 586 bytes, from
macromedia.com)
4. Turn mozilla off, and turn on again.. 
Actual Results:  
You will see the changes, from menus to mozilla logo...

Expected Results:  
should have stayed Firebird browser and play flash movies ang games. 

simple - winXP Pro PL (but english, standard Firebird, NOT polish), without any
modification in Mozilla Firebird'd directory.

On my box flash 7 installer didn't detect Firebird automatically (you had to
point it to MozillaFirebird plugins directory manually).

Can you give us the details of this registry?

Mozilla and Firebird are different application.

bdmo> Can you give us the details of this registry?

Sure - that was registry settings used for proper identification
Firebird with Java plugin. I downloaded these settins from
http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/resources/firebird.reg
(linked from http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/faqs/phoenixwin.html)

I will paste its' contains in my case:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Mozilla\Mozilla Firebird]
"GeckoVer"="1.0.1"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Mozilla\Mozilla Firebird\bin]
"PathToExe"="D:\\MozillaFirebird\\MozillaFirebird.exe"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Mozilla\Mozilla Firebird\Extensions]
"Plugins"="D:\\MozillaFirebird\\Plugins"
"Components"="D:\\MozillaFirebird\\Components"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\mozilla.org\Mozilla]
"CurrentVersion"="1.0" 

>>4. Turn mozilla off, and turn on again..

bdmo> Mozilla and Firebird are different application.

Of course I know. That was my mistake - sould be "turn Firebird off,
and turn on - and you will see Mozilla instead".

Apparently they use common libraries, that
flash 7 somehow messes with.

I repeat: I used Firebird  (_never_ installed real Mozilla on my comp) and it
turned into Mozilla,
for example that rotating wand used as logo for Firebird turned into Mozilla's
big M, and do the rest of menus, buttons, etc.

WFM using the 20030914 build on W2K and WinXP. 

Your build is already rather old (over one month) and a lot has happened since 
then regarding firebird development. Please read 
http://texturizer.net/firebird/bugs.html before reporting any bugs.

I'm resolving this as WORKSFORME. Please reopen this bug, if you still see this 
with a current nightly build, a fresh profile and without any additional themes or 
extensions. Thank you.
