"It just makes life that little bit easier."
Pros: Does what it says: links in emails can be opened within Thunderbird rather than in a separate browser. Links open immediately in Thunderbird rather than there being a delay.
Cons: 1. Default when downloading it from Firefox is that the latter tries to install it as a Firefox add-on (doh!). There is a workaround: right-click and select "save link as". NB you'll need to manually add it to your Thunderbird extensions folder.
2. Some of the settings do not appear to work.

"Want something better? Try SeaMonkey..."
Pros: I agree with much of the review. The extension is very novel for those who don't feel the need to switch between their browser of choice and Thunderbird - although I don't see why people would be thrilled about this in the long-term and continue to use it.
Cons: It's fun to tinker, but honestly, it's just reinventing the wheel. SeaMonkey mysteriously comes to mind, the prodigal software of Mozilla's loins, who has been thrown out of the loop. If you want an integrated solution - that is, after you have had your fun - I urge you to give SeaMonkey a try. Or, if you feel that your very adventurous, throw Opera on and have it go. Or go back to the Firefox/Thunderbird combo. And, I might be wrong, but I remember searching for extensions and coming across one which gives you the integrated feel that we all truly yearn for (or don't).

Version: ThunderBrowse 3.2.1.8
Pros: Download with Internet Explorer not Firefox as FF reads ThunderBrowse as a FF install not a TBird. Installed without a hich for me (after trying FF). Great 3rd party addon, small, there when you need it. I will make a purchase at Amazon.com from the link as support. It's a Win-Win, so go-go it's one of the best.
