Download Mozilla Firebird
There are two types of Mozilla Firebird versions available: milestones and nightly builds. Please note that Mozilla Firebird is still beta software. This means that all builds, including milestones, are intended for testing purposes and may have bugs or may not work at all. Use them at your own risk. The official download page for Mozilla Firebird can be found here.
How To Install
Once you have downloaded the binary, use Winzip or gzip to uncompress Mozilla Firebird to an empty directory. Do not unzip Mozilla Firebird to a directory that already contains a previous version of Mozilla Firebird. Either delete the existing directory, move it out of the way or create a new directory. If you install Mozilla Firebird on top of an existing Mozilla Firebird or Mozilla directory you will have problems.
Milestone Releases
Recommended for most users. Mozilla Firebird development is organized around a series of milestone releases. Each milestone adds infrastructure, features, and bug fixes. The milestones are intended to be periodic check points for progress on the project. These are our most stable builds. If you're new to Mozilla Firebird, be sure to start by installing the latest milestone build.
Download Mozilla Firebird 0.6
The latest milestone is Mozilla Firebird 0.6 and is available for Windows, Linux. and MacOS X. These builds do not have installers.
If you're using Windows, you can download Mozilla Firebird 0.6 with an installer. The installer is unofficial (but great) and features some advantages over the zipped version.
Be sure to read the official release notes before installing Mozilla Firebird.
Nightly Builds
Recommended for experienced users. These builds are the least stable but the most up-to-date. Normally, new builds are released on a daily basis, but don't be surprised if days go by without builds, or if several builds are released in one day. If you download a build and it doesn't work, try the one from the day before or the day after. Remember, this isn't a finished product.
Download a nightly build
Download the latest nightly build for Windows, Linux, MacOS X and Solaris. Alternatively, download older builds. None of these experimental builds have installers.
If you are using Windows, you can download the latest nightly build with an installer (unofficial web installer).
