It is getting better as I use it. When I get to feeling better, I'm
going to work on opening links in Firefox. That's the next thing.
I just hope I don't have to switch again anytime soon. That said, it
wasn't to bad, once I found the right tool to import my old emails,
filters etc etc.

Well, me getting better is taking longer this time. I'm hoping to go
for a walk today. That may help. I hope. Waiting on it to warm up
tho. Dang, it's cold outside.
Some things I've learned so far. I mentioned I have several profiles
open in Firefox. If I open the one I want links opened in last, that's
where the links open at. So, I open my other profiles first then open
my main profile last. Any link I click on opens in the main profile.
It keeps a list of open profiles somewhere and when I get to feeling
better, I'm going to go dig and see if I can find it and set it to a
default profile. Someone else posted a manual way of doing this but if
I can find a GUI way, it might help others as well.
I also want to see if I can make it open in the background and not
switch to Firefox desktop as well. As it is now, if I click a link, it
takes me to the Firefox desktop and shows the tab for the link. I want
it to stay put on my email desktop. Oh, Thunderbird is on desktop 2,
where the email window used to be for Seamonkey. I don't have anything
on desktop one yet. I thought about moving everything over one desktop
but I'm so used to things being where they are now, it might take me
years to get used to everything being off by one. o_O
There was something else I noticed the other day but I forget what it is
now. Dang, I should have wrote it down. :/ It was another good thing,
whatever it was.
That's the update for now. Mostly, links open and it's taking me longer
to get over whatever it was I got into.
