This is just a program I’ve had lying around on my hard drive for awhile and I thought I would release it.
Several people wanted to have ThunderBrowse as their default browser. This addon allows ThunderBrowse to take urls from the command line. You still need to modify some registry values to make ThunderBrowse the default browser, but this is the first step.
How to use
The format to pass urls to ThunderBrowse is:
Thunderbird.exe -tbrowse URL
Where URL is the url to browse to.
What it does
If a Thunderbird window is open, a new ThunderBrowse tab will be created via this method. If no Thunderbird window is open, a ThunderBrowse window will be created.
The addon should support all applications that ThunderBrowse supports (Thunderbird, Postbox, Spicebird).
As with pretty much all other projects, you can’t redistribute this. You can link to this category for updates.

So I’ve switched hosts to WebFaction to try out their service. So far it’s a lot better than my old host (I’m going to keep WebFaction around for awhile and if I like it, I’ll cancel my old host’s service [and get a refund]).
I don’t get anything unlimited (so no overselling) but I get the peace of mind that they won’t shut down anything because it’s too popular (unlike my other host). Plus the service is really fast for me. Did you see how fast tabs switch on the homepage? I remember when it used to take forever just for the request to go through.
Most of the site should be running just fine but let me know if you encounter any hiccups via the comments for this post.

I have just uploaded version 3.3.2 to AMO.
In addition to the things I mentioned in my last post, this next version has:
- New throbber/progress meter code
- Fixes in tab registration to make it faster and more precise
- Fixed issue that caused event handlers to unhook incorrectly.
- Fixed some plugin issues. This may or may not reset your plugin settings. This should fix most of your plugin issues.
A note on the plugin fix: Because plugins have to initialize, they are loaded before a page starts to load. In order to maintain security, any page that was loaded from an email does not have plugins enabled. Pages from there on will have plugins enabled.
Do note, plugins that are in use will increase memory use. There is no way to get around that. However, memory usage should drop a bit when you close those tabs.
