Anyone interested in trying out Firebird would come to the website expecting to get a functioning database server and graphical administration tool. I understand that tools are not developed by the project, but I believe it is very important to list some graphical administration tools on the website. Otherwise, many people would come to a wrong conclusion that this is a console-mode only product and dismiss it without discovering all the features.
If you do not want to promote commercial tools, please include open source tools like FlameRobin. You can add an "administration tools" section to the "Downloads" page. The "administration tools" page would have a proper warning that "tools listed here are 3rd party tools and not developed by the project" or something like that.
BTW, this could be a good revenue source for the Foundation, to ask a small annual fee from commercial tool developers to list their products on this page.

The 'Upcoming events' image (currently advertising the '8th Firebird Developers Day'), should link to more information on 1) the specific event and 2) other events (if any).
Furthermore, I would expect a list of events (if any) to be available on the 'Community' section, or at least a more detailed message than just a banner.

Page: http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php?op=devel&sub=engine&id=roadmap_2007
Roadmap 2007 hasn't been updated since December 2006, so the estimated release dates are wrong.
For example, it says Firebird 3.0 is going to be released in Q4 of 2007. Also, it provides estimated dates for versions already released.

AdBlock Plugin successfuly cuts ad picture
http://www.firebirdtest.com/banners/9846.jpg
and the Welcome/Get Started ... block is not working.
Turning adblock off enables these features, but if Adblock does this bad things to that design, so other "banner-cutters" will do the same.
So, I predict that people with these software or plugins will complain "site is not working".

I think it would be really useful to have a link to "Get to know Firebird in 2 minutes" document (http://www.firebirdnews.org/?page_id=165), in page http://www.firebirdtest.com/en/about-firebird/
I know there are already links to it in other pages, but the About page is probably a landing page for new users, and most of them probably are seeking for fast and easy to read information about what is Firebird and what it can do.

1 - Replace references to "Firebird 1.5" and "Firebird 2.0"
- simple "v1.5" and "v2.0+"/"v2.0 or later" labels are enough -- it is the Firebird web site after all.
2 - Change the width of the columns to make more at-a-glance readable:
- Decrease the width of the "Feature ID" column
- Increase the width of the "Feature Name" column
- Decrease the width of the "Firebird 1.5" column
- Decrease the width of the "Firebird 2.0" column
3 - Replace the current +/-/*/? symbols' -- they are not easy to see or intuitive
- Use words: Yes, No, Partial, Unknown
- Use icon: Check-mark, X, 'disabled" Check-mark, ?

The new site looks very good (don't know about the blue colour though). I have several comments/suggestions, this is the first.
The noted menus/items are lost in the "About Firebird". If I were a developer looking for details, I would almost never look there, "Documentation" is a more natural location.

The error message says (on a Firebird 2.5 snapshot server):
Wrong or obsolete version.

The error message says (on a Firebird 2.1 server):
Wrong or obsolete version.
Unsupported on-disk structure for file FILNAVN; found 11.2, support 11.1
Have you some good advices to me on how I can open the databasefile.

The Historic Reference (http://www.firebirdtest.com/en/historical-reference/ ) is in need of a rewrite and update (looks like it was copied directly from the old site)
Problems I notice on a quick glance are:
* Introduction is worded in a weird way (and grammatically incorrect)
* The historic overview is not really coherent (and some parts might be better used as background information to the history, than the actual history)
* Firebird history overview ends in 2002 with apparently the RC2 of Firebird 1.0
* Developers listed are ancient: some of them are no longer contributing, some of the newer are missing and some people are seriously in need of a more recent picture (if only to save them from embarassement :P)

The favicon on http://www.firebirdtest.com/ is 'ugly' and out-of-style for the new layout (and I think this also applies to the favicon on the tracker).
Preferably the favicon should be replaced with one that looks more like the logo included in http://www.firebirdtest.com/img/site/fierbird.jpg (BTW: is that a typo in the image name?), or like the favicon of http://www.firebirdnews.org/ )

The behaviour of the 'Welcome'-button is inconsistent with the other buttons. When clicking 'Get Started', 'Stay In Touch' or 'Contribute', the content is loaded below the button-bar without refreshing the entire page. On the other hand, when clicking on 'Welcome', the entire page is reloaded.
Steps to reproduce:
# Go to http://www.firebirdtest.com/
# Click on 'Get Started'
Expected: Content below button bar is replaced with 'Get Started' content
Actual: as expected
# Click on 'Welcome'
Expected: Content below button bar is replaced with 'Welcome' content
Actual: Entire page is reloaded
(Note: Clicking on 'Get Started' is optional, behaviour can also be observed when clicking 'Welcome' directly after opening the main page.)
