Alternative problem solving

I don’t know why, but Internet Explorer seems to choose whether or not to display the status bar depending on the weather. I finally decided I should do something about it, as it bugs me when it isn’t there, and I got as far as Google’s homepage (about to search for info on making it stay visible), when I suddenly realised there was a different way of solving the problem.

So I’ve just downloaded and installed Mozilla Firebird 0.6 seeing as it’s been getting a lot of press recently about how quick and cool it is. Guess it shows how dominant IE has become when a former Netscape devotee doesn’t use any excuse to switch browsers :-)

If there aren’t any more posts about this in the next few weeks it must mean Firebird is good, and I haven’t had to revert. We’ll see.
