User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0 Build ID: 20170808170225 Steps to reproduce: 1. Create extension proxy as page https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/Setting_up_extension_development_environment#Firefox_extension_proxy_file shows The addon/extension is a traditional XUL one. 2. Restart Thunderbird Actual results: Nothing happens. Firefox has switched to web based extension, but the old should still work with TB. Expected results: Thunderbird should install the addon
Component: Untriaged → General
That's on a recent TB Daily, I assume? There was another complaint about "side-loading" in bug 1389189. Kris, did that get removed intentionally or damaged accidentally?

It was intentionally removed. We only scan directories at startup if they're in the extensions.startupScanScopes preference. Other side-loads are added later, if and when AddonManagerPrivate.getNewSideloads is called.
