Re: [orca-list] is it just me, or is thunderbird much faster now?

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

I was referring to changes/performance improvements not in the last week, but compared with a couple months 
ago as I tried to explain. I'd not used 
thunderbird during the recent dev rush to get gecko support up to snuff.
I do not remember if I started the use of nightly builds during 32, or if 33 had just come out, but 
fortunately so far no regressions have come up in 
35. Fortunately as the copy of a known good nightly build was part of a large amount of data that was 
destroyed last week. I'll be recovering from this 
for months.
