Hear hear! It's a large bundle of code with no modern purpose.  -JW


I don't much care whether a 'purpose' is "modern" or not, but I do
occasionally use Composer to edit web pages for printing optimization:
Taking out not-wanted items, doing a little rearrangement and editing,
so a printout will be optimized for the person/purpose it's meant for.

Even the 'print' function isn't working, but 'print preview' is, and it
does allow printing after that.

Of course, I never 'save' the edited pages, because after the printout
my 'purpose' is accomplished...  and I don't know any other way to
achieve it without Composer!  So, I hope it remains as a part of SM for
a long time.


For what it's worth, I quite often use the DOM Inspector (Tools > Web 
Development > DOM Inspector) for similar purposes - removing unnecessary 
menus so the useful content fits on a single page, fixing up CSS imports 
for printing, etc.

2.49a2 crashes when opening certain links and the autocomplete feature 
is broken. Sessionrestore also has a problem with session storage, There 
may be other errors too so please do not install it one someones PC who 
is not accustomed to be a beta tester. Should be fixed when it hits Beta 
but currently stick with 2.47 or 2.48. I am sure Adrian will update the 
release 2.47 builds too soon.

Probably. Thunderbird doesn't have it and I think all you need is the 
editor.


Then again maybe Thunderbird does have it, but doesn't have the GUI with 
the Normal, HTML Tags,  Source and Preview tabs and all the 
Composition Toolbar items.

There are lots of situations where people don't consciously notice improved

gets your attention on the one hand and no change on the other hand.

There are lots of situations where people don't consciously notice improved
experiences, but you can detect and measure it if you poll them before and
after. There's a big gray area between the kind of dramatic improvement that
gets your attention on the one hand and no change on the other hand.

As I mentioned earlier, I'm an old hat with development build... I have 
multiple redundant backups... so no worries... 2.49a1 is fast and 
zippy... unlike cludgey old 2.40...


Many thanks to the developers...

For Lightning check if it is just disabled. If its missing find

extensions.installedDistroAddon.{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}

in your about:config and reset it. Should reappear magically after a 
restart.


That said 2.49a1+ is unstable and unusable right now. Problems are being 
worked on.

Great timing! With the merges tomorrow, 2.50a1 should be out shortly
after.



And what about the 2.40 ? All developers prefer taking their time for
new gadgets ?

Or - it's better to wait for the 2.50 release ?



If you want to stay on the release channel, just wait for the next

I'm rather weary of being on the release channel. Also weary of waiting

have enough triage capabilities under my belt to deal with instability.
I'm not going to reinstall lightning until after the release most
