There's probably some truth to this. Another reason is that the split is
much less of an issue on other platforms. The DLL issues don't really
exist on other platforms. The other side effects of the split, such as
useful sharing of configuratin data across apps will get resolved over
time. One needs to keep in mind that the v1.x releases of Firefox and
Thunderbird are still very young in software terms.

Regards,

Steven
