Firebird 0.6.1 is still not much quicker that mozilla.

Nothing I have tested so far beats Opera 7.23, very very snappy.

And I have not trusted Thunderbird(0.2) with my mailboxes yet, I am
using movemail and I am sick of rolling back the backup when things F U (:

Should move to IMAP.

But still, loading is shorter and the overall impression of opera is ver
very attractive IMHO, I am still a Mozilla person but unless something
happends to the speed I will convert thats for sure, been waiting for a
speed improvement for 3-4 years (:

Lets see what the next release will bring.

Have you tried Opera 7.23 and can say that you don't find it much
snappier then I don't trust your opinion, then you are to to mozilla
baised sorry for you :))
