Re: Reminder about Thunderbird question
Oops. Sorry. I forgot that Mozilla breaks accessibility with every new release of Firefox and Thunderbird. That's why I don't use Firefox and am using Thunderbird 31.6. The mouse works fine here. And if I ever get around to it I'll dump TB as well. Mozilla has made it clear that we are nothing. They know exactly what they're doing.
