Let's not forget that London was firebombed during the battle of britain, as well as Coventry and other locations in the British isles. Weather conditions save the city from even more damage, but the number of deaths was still something remarkable, not to mention the loss to historical parts of London. Just putting it out there, let's not be too pro-axis.
Question: I was just reading the newly released transcripts from the 9/11 attacks a male caller called the Jersey Fire Department and said that it's a fire bomb. The transcript can be read at: Transcript #5 Path - Ch. 12 - Jersey City Fire Dept. 7 pages, 286K at http://www.thememoryhole.org/911/pa-transcripts/ is it possible that is true?
Question: Can
the Blitz be regarded as an example of firebombing? What about other bombing with incendiaries without a specific plan to create a firestorm, eg Japanese fire-balloons, Edinburgh Zeppelins and other ineffectual attacks? --

Wasn't Coventry also firebombed? Dresden was firebombed partly in revenge and also to demonstrate to the Russians what the US & UK bombers could do.
Deaths at Coventry = 380.
Deaths at Dresden = 200,000+
That's some kind of revenge.
Coventry was also a munitions centre, a military target. Dresden made cups and saucers!!! Were the British afraid of German cups of tea?

Warsaw, Wielun and Frampol were conventional bombings (with explosivs), but no firebombings. Firebombing is a special technique of bombing initially developt by the british indicianary panel in 1942, after large studies of fire disasters like the london-fire or the great san francisco fire. So this technique could not be used before 1942.
this technique was as effective as the atomic bombs
I highly doubt any military historian or commander has ever claimed this. If it were true, what purpose would the atomic bomb have served? --

Another dubious claim is that the CIA and the military do firebomb Facebook and Social Networking servers via the Internet. That is, I haven't made a friend all day because my last name is Diaz (such as Cameron Diaz' family) is protected content and likes pages are protected the least from flames, fighting, or wars of nudity or pictures that are offensive, amateur, or might be considered against the DMCA II.

I have just completed a large re-write of the examples section. The examples section was an example of an {{ examplefarm}} and {{ expand-section}}. The category and to a lesser extent the {{ WWII city bombing}} template cover the list issue. The trouble with listing cities hit by man made a firestorm is that there is disagreement over whether particular raids started a firestorm or just very bad fires. Although with some, such as Hamburg, Dresden and Tokyo there is no doubt, there are a lot of marginal ones where some historians describe them as firestorms and others do not. -- Philip Baird Shearer ( talk) 11:52, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
The page is currently fixated on aerial bombardment. While any cause of any fire by bombardment would be overbroad, the widespread and terroristic naval rocket attacks like Second Copenhagen, the demonstration attacks during the Opening of Japan, and the gunboat assaults on China and elsewhere during the 19th century where incendiary damage and terroristic effects were forefront should be mentioned here as a separate kind of firebombing. — LlywelynII 18:44, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
