Ben: Wow, those are some serious warnings on his website. I loaded it up 
- so far, so good. I went through the prefs and only changed a couple of 
things. He seems to default to forced single window, just what I wanted. 
Thanks for the tip. I just clicked on a link from an email message in 
Thunderbird and it opened the link in a new tab in the currently open 
window - perfect.
