Looks like 0.8 within a day or so. Will bugs 221899 and 231203 which were just fixed be included?
"Will bugs 221899 and 231203 which were just fixed be included?"
Probably not. From what I understand, Mozilla Firebird 0.8 has been ready-to-go for a while now but is being held up by non-code issues.

<ben_> just an update folks.. there's a decent chance we may have a .8 friday or monday.
...
<michaell> ben_: well, the meeting minutes got posted, and they say it's ready to ship :)
<ben_> michaell: not QUITE ready to ship
<ben_> we have a couple of blocking issues
<ben_> if they're resovled quickly we might ship friday ;-)
so... that came out formatted well ;)
I downloaded a nightly of Firebird Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040124 Firebird/0.7+. Sometimes when I right-click on a flash movie Firebird collapses on me and the process dies. Anyone seen this behavior? Is it a Flash plugin issue or Firebird?

Been a long time coming, can't wait to get my hands on it! Woo Ben!

Moving Firebird Help to mozilla.org?
* request by alanjstr because he claims texturizer.net keeps going down
* charge is not proven

Even if texturizer.net does not go down, does it not make more sense to have atleast the minimal documentation ( an official FAQ ) on mozilla.org itself?
No disrespect for David Tenser, who has been donating time and his webspace, but hosting it at mozilla.org adds a touch of professionalism.
I whole-heartedly agree with this. If the Mozilla.org focus is shifting towards the end user, then it must take more things in-house (in terms of being on the mozilla.org site). It has to become the first port of call for anyone interested in any aspect of Mozilla.
I've had my fair share of problems with texturizer.net although mostly with the themes (and yes I know that's because the images coming from mozdev.org are always so s-l-o-w).
... Plus mozila.org is where USERS will be looking for the info (FAQ, Themes, Extensions, ...) ;-)
I would suggest to do the same for the Thunderbird pages.
I would also suggest to keep the FAR superior layout of the Texturizer.net pages. The mozilla.org pages are ugly and poorly layd out (IMO).
Perhaps David Tenser could be made "manager" of the moved pages.
The design, the site, are all great. However, I have noticed intermittent problems with the server going down. I think they should be moved to mozilla.org, but the content should stay the same.

Are you sure you were seeing their server going down? The problems I've noticed have been related to the themes and extensions, and those aren't on texturizer.net - texturizer.net gets the content from mozdev.org, which does have problems. Moving the texturizer stuff onto mozilla.org wouldn't help with that.
The bug I filed is <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=229863>
Don't forget to read the comments before posting.
*GASP* I am *SHOCKED* at you being credited with my idea, I think I'll have to go and slit my wrists and get a one-sided report favouring my viewpoint put out nearly a year later.
I can't find a bug about directory.mozilla.org, but can I suggest that if an interstitial is use, then it should have the HTTP code for "moved permanantly" (302 I think). This should mean it is picked up by bots such as the one on dmoz.org itself.
"HTTP code for 'moved permanantly' (302 I think)"
302 is a temporary redirect. 301 is a permanent redirect.
