Details

In Thunderbird 59.0a1 the preferences set in the usual way (defaults/preferences/prefs.js) seem not to be loaded at start. Instead if a preference should be accessed the following message is in the error console: NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED: Component returned failure code: 0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED) [nsIPrefBranch.getBoolPref] Also the preferences which have not been changed in the past (i. e. still having their default values are not visible in the configuration editor (about:config) https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Archive/Adding_preferences_to_an_extension#Establish_the_defaults Preferences which have been changed before the start of 59.0a1 in an older version are still accessible / visible in about:config This seems to apply to all XUL addons. 57.0b1 works as expected
