I have started playing with the latest build of the Mozilla Firebird browser and I must say "Daddy likes." It has some very cool features including tabbed browsers, which I am starting to really like as it keeps my desktop clean. My only compliant so for is using it with the latest Outlook Web Access, which I use to access office e-mail from the customer site. Mozilla repeatedly prompts for my user name and password over and over for each resource being download. Aside from OWA, I have not found any problems and I am considering making it my default browser.

I'm not precisely sure what's causing the repeated password request dialogs, but try checking the "Save password in password manager" checkbox when the dialog comes up next...

Thanks. I have tried that but it didn't work. The browser continued to prompt me for authentication. Other than two site, both work related and both requiring IE, I have had no problems with Mozilla Firebird. I really like it, especially tab browsing.
