Agreed. Just uninstalled 1.6 and installed 1.7. Works fine. No
noticeable speed increase here on my PIII 900 mhz machine. But I had
no speed complaints anyway :)

Highly recommended, especially for those who have been having problems
with Firefox 0.9 and or Thunderbird 0.7. In my opinion the suite is
much more polished and also more configurable.

Can I put my Bookmark Toolbar Items on the very top line (to the right of
File, Edit, View, etc.) in Mozilla 1.7?

TIA

The Customize Toolbars function is only available in Firefox for no
apparent reason. Quite frustrating.

Since I use the Googlebar (in Firefox), I need all the screen real estate I
can get.

IMO, if the Moz browser doesn't have customizable toolbars by now, it
probably never will since the future of the Mozilla project, according to
the developers and decision makers, is with Firefox and Thunderbird.

Thanks very much for your info.

Damn! Just as I cleaned off and defragged my hard drive (from 48.2 gb
avail. to 53.6 gb avail.). Oh well, I'm still happy 1.7 is out and
look forward to using it. Thanks!

The install went flawlessly. Faster than 1.6 No buggering my system.

That was going to be my point. Moz will disappear and FF/TBird will
remain. Seems to be an just an exercise to stay with Moz. Although I
don't expect 'everyone' to be happy with the teams decision, I doubt
that fact will change. Since I don't use OE nor do I need TBird, I'm
neutral.

I totally disagree. I use and very much like the integrated news and
email readers in Moz. Besides:

AFAICT, the Mozilla suite will remain for a long time to come. The
roadmap has 1.9-alpha starting this fall. They want to focus on FF and
TB as the premiere products from mozilla.org, they have taken calling
the suite by its codename, Seamonkey, on their website.

We are not retiring the SeaMonkey application suite, or its XPFE
front end, in the foreseeable future. Several companies have
shipped and will ship products based on this venerable component
of the application suite, and on the entire suite. Many
organizations deploy it or a derivative of it, such as Netscape
7.x. We intend to keep supporting these deployments in at least a
conservative, sustaining engineering fashion. However, we still
intend to focus on evolving Mozilla toward the more flexible
application architecture pioneered by Firefox and Thunderbird.
That's where our innovative engineering effort should go.

When I tried the FF/TB combo instead of the Mozilla suite, I lost the
ability to keep a portion of the emailer/browser in memory (IIRC).
That blew it for me and I immediately went back to Mozilla. I use two
separate desktop icons so I can bop immediately into either the
browser or email from the desktop. Plus the fact that I use Composer.
I'll not be happy if the Mozilla suite is eventually abandoned.

What do these different builds do that would cause me to use one of
them versus what is available from Mozilla.org? Specifically, the AMD
XP one.

Thanks for your info.

They're not going to abandon it. The larger companies like the
suite better than the individual programs. So do I, for that matter.

That looks pretty much like what I read that led me to say
what I said. The last sentence 'more flexible application
architecture' tells the story. The demise, IF it happens,
appears to be well into the future. You cannot jerk programs
from under the feet of major users and expect continued loyalty.
And also not until there are no more legitimate complaints
with FF or TB.
