2nd Classic is a light gray Mozilla Thunderbird theme with a few good contrasts, for example a different background for the sidebar. It also comes with custom icons for the Mail, Calendar and Tasks buttons, something that most skins are lacking. Firefox will temporarily display the selected theme instead of the existing one. Take the makeover a step further by choosing from one of the Complete themes that transform the look of various browser elements including tabs, menus, buttons, the address bar, and even the window frame.

• Mozilla Firebird utilizes large chunks of Mozilla Application Suite code. Many of the problems you may experience in Mozilla Firebird are actually problems in this Mozilla core code. If you find a problem with page content or connectivity then it is probably a Mozilla problem and should be reported to the Browser product in Bugzilla, not to the Mozilla Firebird product. • 'Use this theme' checkbox in theme install doesn't function properly and you may have to switch themes by going to Tools > Options > Themes.

Some themes may not apply completely until you open a new window, or restart the browser. • An option exists to disable Form auto complete, but it only disables the UI, data is still collected as you complete forms. A future release will completely disable data collection. • Firebird on Mac OS X is new and still very rough around the edges. Some UI may look or feel like Windows UI.
