Dear
@paulg, feel free to try Gmelius at https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gmelius-ad-blocker-and-be/dheionainndbbpoacpnopgmnihkcmnkl/details … With v5.7.5, you can restore the old compose window, among other things... -
@gmeliusTM: When does the Firefox version of v5.7.5 roll out? -
@HurdingKatz Beta version for Firefox available at http://gmelius.com/beta/ Feel free to let me know any bugs... -
@gmeliusTM Thanks. So far, so good.
