According to the MozillaWiki: Releases, the Major Update for Firefox 2.0.0.16 to 3.0.1 is (at this time) scheduled to land around 7:00 PM PDT/10:00 PM EDT on Monday, August 25th. However, I have my doubts about this release date, only because it is very untypically of Mozilla to do a release on a Monday. Normally everything is prepped and loaded on to…
I’ve been seeing several forum members on Go Firefox! getting the error: Unexpected installation error -203 When attempting to install extensions and/or themes.

Turns out there is a much easier way to edit Thunderbird message tags. I was not even aware there was an option (albeit a little buried) until FreeJeff left this informative comment: You can configure tags to your heart’s content by simply going to Options > Display > Tags.

Whoops, guess I should have looked thru the options menu first. Click for full-size Thanks for the info FreeJeff!

Further after I posted about “The Logo” in the CyberNet Forum, I was directed to A History of Thunderbird (Wikipedia). Turns out this indeed the original logo: Click for full-size I am just trying to understand why they are using…
