I got another incremental update to Firefox7, and it is still in the beta update channel. What does it do is a mystery, since with the new, prize-winning method no one knows nothing. The update was 2.0MB.
The "latest" info about FF7 is over one month old, so who knows?
FYI, I am sticking with FF, only for laughs! I will call this Firefox beta 4, instead of beta something. Ok?

Wise decision.

I'm on my wife's ipad2 while on vacation. I see the insanity of rapid releases continues. I'll probably stick with ie9 once we're back statewide. I'll keep a copy of FF for some sites but I refuse to be carried along by this madness.

Aside: I highly recommend Zero Day as a great techno thriller. I'm about halfway through the novel and can hardly put it down.

This Zero Day?. It sounds interesting.
I detest the way Firefox is proceeding, although the quick release does not bother me, any more than Chrome's quick release had. But, I don't like to know that there are variation in the different betas, and I cannot get any details about them. As far as Firefox7 UA goes, it is the same old Firefox7, which came out on the first of the year 2010.
Especially, since I have WinXP, I am sticking with Seamonkey, in spite of the fact that some sites will insist in opening with IE8, and, others, quite ridiculous, tell me that I have an outdated version of IE, although Seamonkey is my default browser.

Yes, that's the book, Fulvio. It's really quite spell-binding.

I hear you on sticking with Seamonkey.

I'm sticking with SeaMonkey myself, too many updates too quickly with Firefox. I'm not sure that was a wise decision...

I also put SeaMonkey on my Debian Linux installations, but had to change two settings before it would print correctly on my HP printers.

SM is my default browser, and it is fine for mail, also. Unlike Thunderbird, which forces me to wait until all mail is downloaded, before doing anything, Seamonkey allows me to delete unneeded stuff, before downloads are completed.

Just curious if you've checked the TB settings. I have never experienced that with TB in the past and certainly not with version 6.x installed. It pulled in the settings from SeaMonkey when I first installed it (as version 3), it is set to check for new mail every x number of minutes and displays an alert, but not to retrieve any mail. I simply check it on my own.

Edward,
sorry, I saw your reply, only, today. I will try to make the change which you refer to, at least temporarily.
It is no big deal, but I, always, had my mail programs set to retrieve mail, with no problem. Not sure with which version TB started holding things up till all mail was retrieved, certainly with v.3.x.
