While reading the release notes for the latest version of Firebird (conveniently compiled by Alfons) I noticed the following:
“You must also delete your old Mozilla Firebird directory rather than just overwriting the files there. Not doing so WILL result in problems and you should not file any bugs on Mozilla Firebird unless you’ve first done a clean install and tested on a new profile.”
From day one I always assumed that copying the files (and overwriting) was sufficient for a new install. I wonder if it really makes a difference: something I can’t imagine.
Secondly, I haven’t heard a yell from my wife since she has been using Firebird herself. I think it’s safe to say she’s a happy user. And while browsing, she feels a bit safer nowadays too
