i didnt get around to try the browser out properly yet but so far a few things about it annoyed me from the start. such as, its still not able to import my extensions and skins into the new version which is a royal pain in the ass to reinstall and configure.

It propably installs extensions into the program folder in windows?

As for the name change, i'm not really fussy what its called as long as they don't make it sound lame.
Eagle said:It does on windows too. When I installed Firefox, it took all my settings and favorites from firebird so I just deleted the firebird folder. I didnt have to do anything, the installer searched the hard drive for firebird, grabbed the settings and did everything before I even knew about it.
AlphaWolf said:Actually it just goes off of a registry setting which points to a browser profile stored in a directory in C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data, if you started with phoenix or mozilla, it automatically uses whatever default profile you had set.

well, the <a href=http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/releases/index.html#install>release notes</a> do ask you to disable all extensions before upgrading to avoid problems with incompatible extensions. so i wasn't really surprised. then again i installed my extensions into the program directory, so it wouldn't have carried over anyway (new name = new directory, damn you mozilla and your multiple names).2fast4u said:im not talking about the bookmarks mind you. those were imported flawless. however the extensions i installed (advanced tabbed browsing, smooth scrolling, etc) were gone.
