John,
I thought you didn't post *Beta* software. Has anything changed?

We've done Firefox betas for years now. It was just awaiting the new format and installer to stabilize. We added Thunderbird betas with the v3 release. They're mainly for testing and can be handy to test out the new versions without impacting your local ones. Plus they help us flesh out issues with portability for these major apps.
3.5 B4 launcher compatibility with DefaultMyFFP-1.5?
Under XP64, tried this one out. Using in conjunction with DefaultMyFFP-1.5 (to enable default browser functionality as far as double clicking web links, etc). For some reason 3.5 B4 opens all double clicked links as a new window as opposed to a new tab within the existing window. I believe this is related to how the launcher itself is handling / passing the links it is receiving.
