Kept http for the two getthunderbird.com preferences because the server doesn't support https. Filed bug 1286518 for that.

Dropped the obsolete preference mailnews.migration.header_addons_url which got added as part of bug 516884. The feature got removed in bug 735524.

I heard we could like to resurrect some form of migration/upgrade assistant.

I think you'd have to have a pretty compelling use case for something like that.

Comment 7

[:aceman]

I think is was brought up in the Correspondents column bugs.

Comment 8

[:aceman]

Yeah, but not as a page on server, but maybe just a plain first-run dialog which would just present some new options and set pref accordingly.

That's what used to exist. It's really terrible from a resourcing perspective though - all in all the work that was put into that part I'd say was way disproportional to anything good it might have done. And it would really have made no difference in the Correspondents case...
