Torbutton 1.1.8-alpha (Usability improvements)

Could you please also make it compatible with Thunderbird ?

Torbutton 1.4 installs (and works) fine with Thunderbird after editing 
the config file in the xpi package to allow Thunderbird to install it.

I suppose it should works as well with the new version ?

Thanks.
