Just downloaded TB3rc2 and found using the F8 to switch the message
pane doesn't work right after startup of TB3. The same was already with
TB3rc1.
Just opening the main menu with 'View' without any further action with
the menu pop-up will fix the situation. Any further use of F8 will
toggle the pane.
Note: I have installed the 'Compact header' xpi version 1.0.1.

Congratulations.

Lot of improvements.

Also the add-on 'CompactHeader' works now beautifully. (No idea where
the fixes were made).

There is still a problem in the address book import. (Importing lists)

And actually a new one.
When importing an (Outlook) AB, it doesn't show up in TB AB until after
a restart of TB.

Greetings,
Rolf

In this "milestone"? You mean version?
