		<description>Damn, I keep finding stuff. :-)

With regard to that apparent Thunderbird interaction thing, I now noticed that underneath the "Read Mail (1 new)..." option there is a "New Message..." option.  The only caveat, it doesn't work, whoops.

If Thunderbird is closed and I click the "Read Mail," then it opens Thunderbird for me.  Just an FYI.

Another added feature that I noticed is that in the secondary search bar, defaulted previously with Google search, now has more default engines: Amazon, Dictionary, eBay, Google, and Yahoo.  That's helpful.

Now another complaint; I used the dictionary feature of Firefox before every now and again, it was great.  All I had to to do was type "dict &lt;word&gt;" in the address bar and wammo, it took me to dictionary.com and performed my search.  Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the secondary search engine that would work for dictionary.com, but that was a few too many extra clicks.  

Well now it doesn't work, shit.  It now takes me directly to Google's "I'm feeling lucky" search for whatever you type in the address bar that is not formatted as a URL.  Damn it, someone make it work like it did, I liked that feature.

Go now.&lt;/word&gt;</description>

		<description>Oh, I forgot to mention my thoughts on the RSS features.  It initially seemed useful, however it doesn't seem to change the bookmark itself in any way once you've read the post.  Something as simple as changing the background color, color, font, font weight, or icon would suffice.  

Someone look into that.</description>

		<description>Two more things that I noticed, adjustments to "Find" and encrypted pages.

Encrypted pages now have the address bar background color set to yellow.  This effect is just another way of telling people that the page they're on is encrypted, the only other way was that little yellow lock in the bottom right corner.  Simple but effective.

The other is Find.  Press Ctrl+F and find pop's up in the bottom of the screen.  Not as a pop-up though, but more as a small menu bar on the bottom.  It's non-intrusive nature is what I like about it, that and the ability to highlight with a simple button.  This highlighting feature is also persistant across multiple websites assuming you have it on.  

Those two are the only notable things so far other than what I already listed.</description>
