Firefox & Thunderbird

[Jim Herrmann]

I'll try to recap.  First, I found this discussion useful:
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=72353

My installation could use some fine tuning for maintenance.  For 
example, I have both products installed in my home directory, which is 
not good long term.

I could repeat what I did, but it's pretty much covered in the 
discussion at the link above. 

HTH,
Jim
