Two extensions I NEED (!!!) but not on there:
Show ALT attributes

I cant stand not seeing alt attributes and having to see that blasted popup whenever it cant find the page...

Tabbrowser Preferences 0.5.1 does not work, so far.
When I try to access the options for it, I get an XML Parsing error.

I miss Tabbrowser Extensions already.

I must say I wasn&#39;t too impressed with 0.9 :( I have switched back to 0.8 for the time being, too many extensions didn&#39;t work.

I had half a page of grey and red messages in the bottom half of the screen :blink:

Your favorites should still be in your old profiles folder unless you manually deleted it.

Check inside the folder at C:&#092;Documents and Settings&#092;username&#092;Application Data&#092;Phoenix&#092;Profiles. Copy and paste "bookmarks.html" to the new profiles location at C:&#092;Documents and Settings&#092;username&#092;Application Data&#092;Mozilla&#092;Firefox


I couldn&#39;t find tabbrowser preferences 0.5.4. Can you post a link?

thanks mate, thats what I meant.
Its typical, right after I post I go to the old extensions site and sees them all up again.


What Im now having issues with is copying text from websites...
Actually its only one website I tried doing it on, might it be some javascript they had to disable copying? :unsure:

Bah seems to work fine on this forum :P

Look out Internet Explorer... your days have been numbered for some time now, but Firefox 1.0 will surely leave you shaking on your already shaky foundations and standing in a small warm puddle.

It seems Thunderbird 0.7 RC1 was released also. :D

Haven&#39;t noticed much change in T&#39;Bird 0.7, perhaps I never got the bugs.

I used to like NSnotify when I was running Netscape 4, but that disappeared with Netscape 6 and Mozilla. I&#39;d forgotten all about it but reading through the forum comments reminded me about it.

Anyone who liked that feature might like to try MailVerifier (http://www.mailutilities.com/mv/). Manual account configuration for Thunderbird users I&#39;m afraid, although it does pick up the default mailer. Saves having your mailer running all the time, and it can be configured to start your mailer with a single click.

And Final :01: :

Thunderbird 0.7 is Mozilla&#39;s next generation e-mail client. Thunderbird makes emailing safer, faster and easier than ever before with the industry&#39;s best implementations of features such as intelligent spam filters, a built-in spell checker, extension support, and much more.

What&#39;s New:

Smaller and Faster
o The Windows Installer is now only a 5.9MB download. Significant performance improvements on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X&#33;

New Themes and Extension Manager
o Provides a convenient and secure way to manage and update the many add-ons that set Thunderbird apart from other e-mail clients.

Crash Analysis Tools (Talkback)
o Help us help you&#33; Integration with Mozilla Talkback allows users to submit crash reports which makes it easier for us to find Thunderbird top crashes.

* New user interface for viewing vCards.
* New Profile Manager which also supports running from a USB device.
* Color quoting for quoted message parts.
* Mac OS X fix for Thunderbird hanging when the computer comes out of sleep mode.
* Mac OS X: When there are no Thunderbird windows open, clicking on the system dock now opens the main mail window.
* Fix for an occassional hang when reading IMAP mail over SSL.
* Our LDAP support works against older version 2 LDAP servers again in addition to version 3.
* Thunderbird can handle mailto urls that contain raw spaces in the subject.
