RE: Help Building a Patched Version of TB 2.0.0.23

Even Mozilla itself says not to rely on a beta version in a production environment. I'm just not comfortable using a prerelease version. Furthermore, I've just spent many hours configuring TB 2 and it does everything I need other than 2 things right now - one of them being the thing this patch fixes. I'm the type who usually doesn't upgrade if what I'm using meets my needs.

 

If TB 3 was fully out, I'd certainly get it and try it out and go with it if it fixed this issue while still meeting everything else I need. But it's not out, and my schedule dictates that I really need to get my email setup done in the next few days and move on to other work.

 

So it's a combination of factors really. The bottom line is that I'm plenty happy with TB 2 and if only this one patch were in there I could move on for now. It's possible in the future when I had more time I'd take the time to upgrade to TB 3. But right now I really am in a hurry to get things settled and I'm basically just this one feature away from being settled for now.

 

So if anyone could apply that patch and build me up a version of 2.0.0.23 with it in, I'd be really grateful. 

 

Thanks for the reply.
