Thunderbird will be unaffected by the change -- some URLs might change, but that's ...

Mozilla Labs has posted another update to its F1 social sharing add-on for Firefox. Right off the bat, you'll notice a new vertical UI has replaced the full-width horizontal look of previous versions -- and rather than rudely shunting everything out of the way, F1 floats above your current Web page in a Firefox 4'ish notification box. F1 now lets you share with your LinkedIn contacts, Twitter ...

Microsoft confirms the 'F1' key as potentially deadly

Look at it up there, in the top left corner, just above your middle finger, all innocuous-looking... just gagging to be depressed... you could just give F1 a little tickle, no one would know... STOP! Don't do it! At least, not if you're on Windows 2000, XP or Server 2003. A few days ago a warning appeared on Microsoft's Security Response Center, in it they detailed an attack involving pop-up ...
