I’ve been using Firefox for a while as my webbrowser. It takes Internet Explorer to the wood shed. Today I started using Thunderbird as my email client. So far I’m getting everything I had with Outlook, and a little more. I do miss the nice interface of writting emails with Word.
I recommend that all my readers consider dropping Outlook and IE in favor of these new products.
And there are some great extensions for Firebird. I recommend Flashblock.
I use a lot of extensions for Firebird. I have even hacked one extension to fix a problem I was having with it.
