Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Brad Kane]

Attachment: HTML Email Signature - Passes W3C Validator with Warning on Language

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0
Build ID: 20180621064021

Steps to reproduce:

Added HTML (see attached file) as email signature to one of my many email accounts.  Tried to compose new email, selecting account with the desired email signature.  Crash!

Even closed Thunderbird after updating email signature and composing email.  No difference.

Note:  Without @font-face using dataURI, email signature works with image dataURI.


Actual results:

Crash Reporter window.  Nothing else.  Did not even get blank compose window.


Expected results:

Blank email compose window with proper HTML email signature visible below.

Does it also crash if you try version 60 from https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/channel/ ?

Question:  Since I have been regularly updating my Thunderbird, and it shows that I am update-to-date using the "release channel", why am I on release 52 vs. 60?

60 has not yet been made available on release channel

Good idea.  So I checked out Thunderbird on Portable Apps and the beta track allowed me to download and use this version (60.0b4) without migrating my current isntallation.

Lo and behold, the HTML email signature seems to be working.  No crashes and all seems to be good.

So, when does 60 make it to the release track (ETA)?

That signature as attached in attachment 8994038 [details] works fine for me in both TB 52.9.1 and TB 60.0 ESR.
