But there are things in Thunderbird that just don't work, or aren't obvious. Firebird is pretty good nowadays.

So yeah, the underlying code is just as stable, but the UI has been (almost) completely reimplemented in both, and Tbird is a little off if you ask me. Their new attachment bar is a waste of precious real estate for anything less than 4 attachments, which probably comprises 99.999% of all email.

Stability and compatibility with web sites should be identical.

Are Firebird and Thunderbird just as stable and compatible with websites as Mozilla is? If we want to make a good impression, give them the best. They won't care how fast it loads or that it doesn't need to install if it just plain doesn't work. However, I've only tried Firebird and that was a while ago.
