   Thanks for keep track on it, I didn't upgrade to latest FireFox yet, but   
   I had to upgrade ThunderBird just now (it wouldn't load w/o).   
   Every update makes the whole Mozilla story worse in terms of size and   
   start load time [TB takes up to 30sec to open].   
      
   I didn't check on details, so I dunno how to disable or alter any bit.   
   Where would I have to start ?  in this 'not recommended' config ?
