FF-TB has an attribute that is both a plus and a minus. When the suite
was split into FF and TB the two separate pieces were provided as
stripped down versions of the suite components. That's the negative.
However, a community has developed that is creating add-ons. You can
now do things with FF-TB that you can't do with SM. Actually the volume
of add-ons has gotten rather overwhelming. You don't need video games
any more; you can spend all your time building FF and TB.

So, since I need both a browser and email client, I use SM for it's
integration qualities, and it does all the normal stuff out-of-the-box.
I then use TB for some mail file maintenance - see merge thread. I
have a FF installation for trying plug-ins.
