Seems like common sense to offer p2p download links. If there'd be a ed2k link or torrent link (why not both?) on the homepage I'd try those first. It just seems like a waste of money and resources to only offer http/ftp downloads.

Actually, it's the servers all the builds are on. Milestones are as bad as nightlies.

Well the GRE - Core and Installer: GRE components in bugzilla are returned by the query:

I'm not sure if it's comprehensive or not.

However, you should probably know that the Firebird people have no intention of using the GRE in the foreseeable future:

I would try complaining about this on the firebird forums (the stated location for feedback), or on the newsgroups. However, I've become so convinced that any arguments as to why the GRE is needed will be willfully ignored, that I can't motivate myself to take any action.

I haven't seen much sign of big stuff happening with GRE. I think things are taking small steps in the right direction (unforking Firebird/Thunderbird stuff, and making a few changes to Firebird/Thunderbird to move them towards having a separate GRE). For the moment, Bugzilla probably is the place, but that would be for individual little fixes (and for following, not discussing, unless you're writing the code) rather than the kind of discussion you're after.

On the profile names - I think the eventual goal is for the different apps to be able to share profiles, and I don't think the branding thing has been decided once and for all yet, so probably a bit early to decide on those.

As and when a new roadmap document appears, it will hopefully help to give some more clarity on some of this stuff, and discussion can follow...

Lotes Notes sues Mozilla? Err no. And never heard of GameSpy using it as well.

Try searching bugzilla, the first link I found: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=178806

Personally I think it's a good idea if it's implemented correctly. Being able to try any new gecko based browser and have the option for it to *safely* share profiles with another gecko based browser so that you you have easy access to your bookmarks, etc is a good idea. Note, how I said option, it might be best to be the default option, it might not be, however, an option it needs to be.

Browsers that embed IE can automatically pick up settings (some may be essential like proxy settings), cookies, bookmarks, etc, so why shouldn't this option be available to those that embed Gecko

It seems understandable with Mac pushing Safari use. It is hard to get people excited about creating a standards complient non-IE browser and using it from an open-source group when Apple has created a competing product. This competing product is quite good and seems to not need a replacement. While I am not advocating dropping support altogether, I find it understandable that Mozilla will not make much inroads on OSX any time soon.

Have you tried firebird 0.7.1 ? With Ben Goodger having switched to mac, expect the best for firebird OSX.
