(And as an aside: what the heck are Mozilla doing to TB?! Why can't devs just leave something good alone and not &^$%#@ around with it!?)
Seriously? Do you like the chromification and other paradigm changes that have been occurring in Firefox? For the last five years at least, running its 6-8 week new release model, upstream Mozilla drivers seem driven to change for change sake, not content to keep what works working. Just as Mozilla Suite was divorced from the mainline mozilla.org product line, after which it was renamed SeaMonkey, Thunderbird is being (has been?) too. Both have been allowed to continue to use mozilla.org infrastructure, but this too has been decreed must come to an end. In addition, components that enable SM and TB to exist have been and continue to be eliminated from the code base, necessitating that the divorcees either fork and maintain the deletions, or morph the need for them into whatever continues to be available. The scramble to adapt by the limited SM & TB development communities leaves unfortunate consequences in its wake. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom."
