There are never enough preferences. I like tabs in the browser and I don't like the fact that the tab bar disappears when only one tab is open. There is a pref to force it to always show the tabs, but it works both in the browser and the mail/news. I don't want tabs in mail/news except maybe when mail/news would be a tab in the browser. So there should now at least be 3 prefs: one to force tabs in the browser, one to do it in te mail, and one to make mail/news a tab in the browser. When there are checkmarks for all those things, many users would be overwhelmed and some types of users just toggle checkmarks semi-randomly to see what they do. When they don't see an immediate effect they leave it as is and later are faced with a change they don't know how to undo. I think that is what the article is about. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
