My Thunderbird Extensions

by panzer622 May 3, 2007 4:45 AM PDT

Foxclocks! I have friends that in other time zones. I like to know what time it is where they are. A very nice unobtrusive extension. And since my friends and I send a lot of links to each otehr 'URL Link' is another handy extension that fixes broken links. And I do have Leet Key. Because I can.

Minimise to try
by j3st3r May 4, 2007 10:37 PM PDT: This is an extension I've fallen in love with for both Firefox and Thunderbird. In regards to thunderbird it allows me to have my email client open all the time but off the task bar and out of the way. Handy for those times when you're waiting for an email but don't want to have the application "open".

I had BIG TROUBLE!

by beatodermatt May 3, 2007 5:10 AM PDT

I had massive trouble when I tried to instal Thunderbird. It used Thunderbird for my email and Firefox as my browser for a few years and I was very happy. When I tried to install the latest Thunderbird, I could not instal it. It corrupted also Firefox. I was not able to use Firefox and or Thunderbird and I was forced to delete both of them.

It was swift and seamless for me.
by DarkHawke May 4, 2007 5:08 AM PDT: Literally, five minutes from clicking on the download to up and running. The only hitch was updating the Buttons! plug-in so the status bar wasn't inordinately thick. What OS are you running? How old is your computer and/or how long since you've installed the OS? These factors plus whatever other apps/plug-ins you've installed since installing Firefox/Thunderbird before could have resulted in the bad interaction you described.; Like this
