    I am using the same version of Thunderbird and Firefox. They are all 
using the Home$ of /home/karl/ with the same permissions. So there was 
no problem with that. Firefox went real easy. Thunderbird had a "lock" 
in the guts and I had to delete that.

    This fixed several vexing problems. Firefox would not save any 
bookmarks because it needed a "starter" html bookmark. Now it has all 
the bookmarks from Harty which is a big help.

    And on Thunderbird it solved the problem of reading the mail. Now it 
works like Hardy and that is what I want.
