Thunderbird and Firefox
 

I have installed ver 0.6 Thunderbird and Firefox 0.8 along with the Tab
extensions for Firefox.
I just loved Mozilla 1.6 and like the new stand alone versions as well
but...

I have a problem with opening links in emails, I like to have new links
opened in separate tabs so went to the appropriate sites and followed
the instructions. Creating a user.js and adding the correct code for
this function to Firefox but if I attempt to open more than one link in
an email Firefox crashes.

IS this a production bug that I will have to tolerate till it is fixed
or have I got it wrong somewhere. Been to the forums for both Firefox
and Thunderbird and found nothing any ideas anyone.

Can't help you with your probs, but perhaps you can help me with mine.

You know how there's a "download posts to read later offline. tick here"?
Well, I've ticked and changed things and re-ticked and gone through the
prefs and no way can I read posts off-line. If I try I get a box
informing me that it's no longer connected to clear news. It was the
_one_ MS thing I liked, the fact that I could download posts (just the
same as getting the email) and disconnect so my phone line was
available, and I wasn't paying for more hours. Haven't found anything
in Linux that actually does it, despite Mozilla and a couple of others
(forget which) pretending they do.

I prefer to use Mozilla [browser only] with the Multizilla extension to
FF/Tabbrowser.

maybe put it through to the developers @ bugilla or Mozdev (or whatever)
I think they are looking for that sort of input.

A partial solution can be found in the 0.8+ releases (0.9 development
tree).

Firefox 0.8+ will now open clicked links in a new window, rather than using
the last active tab.

Maybe not the complete answer that you're looking for, but worthwhile
considering if it is an issue.

Try the latest nightly build at
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.or...refoxSetup.exe

The work around I have found is to turn on the open link from clipboard
in new tab and I just copy each link to the clipboard and hey presto 1/2
second later it opens.
