With all the talk of Firefox at these forums i just thought it would be interesting to see what version of Firefox/Firebird/Phonix(!) people here first started using.

For me it was Firebird 0.6 (Linux)

For me I think it was Mozilla Phoenix 0.4. Windows.

I checked out Phoenix 0.1 as soon as I read about it (I'm a pretty staunch mozilla supporter, been using it since roughly between M10 and M14), and had a pretty good review of it. IIRC, I started using it full time at 0.2 or 0.3, although I kind of flip-flopped between Moz and 0.1 for quite a while.

I think it was v0.6 on both Linux and Windows. It was originally just for the popup blocking (omg ZD), but I grew to love the tabbed browsing as well.

I believe it was Phoenix (or Firebird?) 0.6 for me. I'd been using Mozilla for a while, and heard it was good. I'm now on 1.0 final.

Frankly, I don't remember well. There were no fancy extensions or anything. It was just a browser. And it worked well. It was a lot better than struggling with the monolithic moz. suite.

Really, there's not a lot of new functionality in ffx1.0 when you get right down to it. 1.0's just loads more refined, bugfixed, with a few neat additions like skins and extensions

Phoenix 0.1 when it got posted on Slashdot.
Didn't make the switch as I was already an Opera fan.

Well I'm a newbie so I used the latest version about a week ago. I love it. I think what I love most about it is the search engine thing and the built in taskbar. But how do you JUST open downloads, because I remember seeing no button to open a download. I might be wrong because I have only used it for one night about a week ago.

You should be able to go to Tools - Options - Downloads and then tell it to ask you where you want to save every file, then the next time you go to download a file, select "Open With" instead of "Save To Disk", and make sure you have "Do this automatically for files like this from now on" checked.

When I click on "open with" will I get a Windows Explorer window to browse the program, for example, WinRAR? And when I check the box that asks "Do this automatically for files like this from now on" will I still have the option to save it somewhere and will it always, if I specify it, open in WinRAR?
