via blake and mozillaZine: Firebird was named as a Linux Format "Hottest Pick."
Overall, Firebird is a great browser, jam-packed with goodies and ready for even more through extensions. It's fast, attractive, easy-to-use and mostly reliable, and it's guaranteed a prosperous future.
Thanks to Alex for the catch on the bad link and the correction on the award.
I think you'll find the 'Linux Format' site is actually at http://www.linuxformat.co.uk/.
And it wasn't just a Hot Pick, it was the Hottest Pick. Had a nice award logo with a chilli in it.
