Re: OT: Spread Firefox
Hmmm... Just switched over from Mozilla to Firefox, since Mozilla.org seems to be pushing it a bit harder, and so far I like it. Only problem is, I got Thunderbird as an email client since it looked all nice and fancy, but it doesn't seem to be able to import my old emails & settings from Mozilla. What's that all about?

It should be able to fairly easily... It is pretty much the same program as the mail client in Mozilla, after all. Never used the mail client in Mozilla before, so can't really help you any... |

Re: OT: Spread Firefox
I normally use Opera, this thread convinced me to give FireFox a try. Its great, really nice. Fast, Efficient, less cluttered looking than Opera.
The extension cabilities in FireFox are very nice. After a little searching I was able to find an extension that would allow me pick up where I left off when I Last closed FireFox, like I can in Opera. Without this ability I would be staying with Opera.

Re: OT: Spread Firefox
Opera needs some hand-made tweaks to provide maximum viewing area. And it has much more flexibility in interface customisation than _default_ FF setup.

That doesn't particularly matter, given the ease of installing various extensions which expand such things... |

Re: OT: Spread Firefox
Actually it does. FF is advertized as IE-killer, so its main auditory is a computer illiterate part of the internet Users (about 90% of total amount of Users). They'll hardly download and install extensions. They are typically interested in the features out of the box.
