Is there a way to open Thunderbird in a tab in Firefox?
I'm trying to find a way to open Thunderbird in Firefox, rather than a stand-alone window.

Firefox is a browser program You use Firefox to access the internet to see webpages. This means you can use your ISP website to logon and see emails held on server via the website. This is called webmail. If you have different email addresses eg: you might have a website hosted or a gmail account etc. You could logon to different websites to access different email address. You may not want to have passwords stored. Each one you may need to logon to manually. You must have internet connectivity to view webpages.
Thunderbird is an email client program. You do can create mail accounts for all email addresses and access them in one window. You can set them up to auto access server without the need to logon. Synchronising can be set up to auto access periodically or upon demand. Whilst you need internet to download emails, you can view them in offline mode or without internet connectivity.

No. They are 2 separate programs that run independently.
