I wouldn't worry about this too much. It's probably T-Bird rebuilding
or cleaning up the global database. If you don't like it then turn it
off. It is something of a pig.
A couple of customization questions
Google Chrome's UI look and behavior by and large cannot be changed.
You get what Google gives you. Requests for changes are typically
closed with "WontFix" tags. Bear this in mind when you run into UI
issues.
First, by default, Chrome has the tabs on top above the status bar,
and I prefer the tabs to be below the panel. This might be a theme
issue. I could not find it in settings.
Google does not permit this. Google has closed request for this option
with "WontFix". Same with the touchy-feely tablet menu spacing even on
not tablets.
Second. There are several web sites that reject Chrome. In Firefox
there is a mode to pretend it is IE. Is there a way in Chrome to fool
the site into thinking it is Firefox. (Again, I have not really
researched this).
There's a user agent switcher in the Chrome webstore. Dunnow if it
works or not. I dumped Chrome because of all the WontFix UI bugs.
While I am still not sure that I will use Chrome, the User Agent
Switcher did work for me on the one site that rejects Chrome.
As far as T-Bird is concerned, I want to see if T-Bird still freezes up.
