Not sure if this was the case for the previous
versions, but I just tried this new release with my
FF1.5 and found that when saving (or opening) the
"mht" format, it took a huge peak memory usage while
there was no such problem for the "maf" format. Is
this an implication that "maf" format is more
memory-efficient? 

Thanks for the great job and I now have a version
compatible with my FF1.5. I haven't really identified
any bug using it yet. But just as a suggestion, if
some toolbar/menubar icons can be added to this
package, it would be even wonderful.
