1283293 - New version caused ALL SAVED security options for blocking remote content to go away!

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Thunderbird :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Ben]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.103 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Opened up new (6/12?) 45.1.1 version, which loaded automatically and I didn't ask for!


Actual results:


My big problem is that all of my security options (i.e. TB blocking remote content) from people that e-mail me are GONE! Now I have to AGAIN manually select if I want an e-mail to show images and all the different servers that stuff comes from etc and I HAD this all done before!




Expected results:

All of the security options that I have selected over the years, for each person, should still be there!

How do I get the old version back? This is a HUGE waste of time, that I don't have!

As per the release notes https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/45.0/releasenotes/
===
Improved options for remote content exceptions (but previous settings based on the sender's email address are not migrated, so these need to be added again by users).
===
e-mail based exceptions were not migrated due to lack of developer resources.

You can download old versions of TB from here:
