similar to bug 406371, the extension probably included our source files (utils.js, controller.js) and that caused redeclaration.
Since that's not a Firefox bug i'm invalidating. Maybe would make sense to file a bug to give a common util file for extensions... but probably at this point Jetpack and FUEL can cover that.

Bug 451915 - move Firefox/Places bugs to Firefox/Bookmarks and History. Remove all bugspam from this move by filtering for the string "places-to-b-and-h".

In Thunderbird 3.0b, you do that as follows:
Tools | Message Filters
Make sure the correct account is selected. Click "New"
Conditions: Body   contains   places-to-b-and-h
Change the action to "Delete Message".
Select "Manually Run" from the dropdown at the top.
Click OK.

Select the filter in the list, make sure "Inbox" is selected at the bottom, and click "Run Now". This should delete all the bugspam. You can then delete the filter.
