depends on what you use a web browser for browser.

if you need an email client as well as a browser then
download mozilla 1.5b, if you only want a browser then go
firebird without a doubt

Mozilla is more stable and has fewer annoyances, but it's
not as small and efficient as Firebird.

mozilla's web browser is based on the firebird code. so, as
of version 1.4, that peice of mozilla is very similar to
it's little bro firebird... 'cept mozilla full has more
preferences. but, it also has an email client, an HTML
composer, and a chat client built in... so, it is
substantially more bulky than firebird.

firebird has a grip of extentions that will add
functionality if you need it, but it comes very minimal and
bare bones... which is why i love it so.

I find Mozilla runs just fine on an older system, older
being like a 233 mHz processor with 128 megs ram. You don't
really notice any slowness except when you first open it -
that takes a few seconds.

I've installed it now and it's rendering HTML o much faster
than explorer.

If you like Firebird better than Moz (like I do) then for
mail you can use Thunderbird, which is a free mail client
put out by them. It's awesome.

No, mozilla isn't based on firebird yet. That's due for some
future release - see the mozilla roadmap.

You should use firebird instead of mozilla unless you need
one of the other components of mozilla (mail, composer,
etc). Thunderbird email is looking good, but it's not stable
enough for me.
