On a personal note, I've been using it for a couple of months, and it is better at all they wrote. So it's worth the download. Thunderbird 1.5 is coming soon. Will post when it's released.

Well I decided to upgrade. The Google bar is gone but it shouldn’t take them too long to fix that. Any way to get MSN video to play in Firefox? That’s about the only reason I go to IE. That and Yahoo music.

TK: Mind if you can give me a couple of sites that displays MSN videos, and Yahoo music? I'll check around for an add-on, and see if they work.

BTW your copy may be defective, I've got 1.5, and the google bar is on mine. Check your settings, to see if maybe it can be set?

I use MSN as my homepage. If I click on the video highlights, it says I need to download IE 6. When I try to play a video at the Yahoo music site, I get this: To use this application with Netscape, you must use a 4.7x or 7.1 version. Download now.

Please use the following error code when writing to Yahoo! Help. (Error Code: 12)

The new Firefox said that my Googlebar was not compatible with the new version. I was using Googlebar 0.9.12.01. Firefox says updates are not available for it. Don’t worry too much, it’s a small price to pay for security. Just a little annoying. I’d love to get away from IE altogether.

TK, thanks for the links. I'll see what I can do to help out. I think I have some ideas already, but I'll check first.

I found a Googlebar that works. I was using another version. One thing for sure, when you hit that back button, it loads much quicker than the old version.
