I'd probably switch too. I've not had that problem, fortunately. I do backups frequently in any case, as I have had plenty of bad experiences with computers that way!</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/287/10052010-11-18T00:49:31Zilikefree<p>collected addresses won't work for long and all your saved addresses get deleted somehow. It is RUBBISH.I am going to dump thunderbird as this is the fifth time I have lost all my addresses.</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/287/10042010-01-29T06:16:37ZJon Daley<p>(note that firefox 3 has the force new windows into tabs)</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/287/10032010-01-26T03:34:09ZDavid July<p>Jon has pretty much covered the highlights. Firefox 3 did incorporate several features, but I still use it to customize click actions (I double-click my tabs to close them), context menus and general behavior. Since I abhor multiple windows and pop-ups, I also use it to force everything into tabs.</p> <p>You'll be amazed how many things you can alter once it is installed, including options to change the open/close buttons that were annoying you.</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/287/10022010-01-25T19:04:20ZJon Daley<p>One feature that is in firefox now is remembering which tabs you had open if you accidentally close them or even if you close the whole browser.</p> <p>There is probably a mouse way to do it, but I use ctrl-t for new tab, and ctrl-shift-t to reopen a closed tab. It remembers the tab history and everything.</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/287/10012010-01-25T19:02:55ZJon Daley<p>Yes, I was going to recommend tab mix plus, though I never installed it after upgrading to firefox 3. I think they've incorporated the features I cared about.</p> <p>Linda - probably just install it - you can configure anything you could possible think of (and way more) having to do with clicking, opening and closing tabs.</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/287/10002010-01-25T17:44:51ZSursumCorda<p>What does Tab Mix Plus do that you especially like?</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/287/9992010-01-25T03:17:00ZDavid July<p>Extensibility is one of the best features of Firefox and Thunderbird. Whenever you find yourself frustrated by something in these products, there's bound to be an add-on available to fix it.</p> <p>I recommend using <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122" rel="nofollow noopener">Tab Mix Plus</a> to alter how tabs work. I have been using this add-on for years and love it.</p>
