Details

I installed Thunderbird 68.0b1 under Windows 10. It disabled all of my add-ons. Tools -> add-ons -> Extensions states "Legacy add-ons must be updated to be compatible with 68.0. Learn more...."

"Learn more" is in blue and is underlined when I hover a mouse over it, so it appears to be a link. However, left clicking on it does nothing. I also don't see the URL in the status bar at the bottom of the window when I hover a mouse over it.

As a sanity check I went to tools -> add-ons -> recommendations and clicked on several links. They worked as expected. Hovering a mouse over those links showed the URL in the status bar. It appears the Learn more link is not a real link, just close enough to be identified as one.

Flags: needinfo?(sancus)

Not sure why this is needinfo'd to me. The obvious solution is that we need to patch Thunderbird to link to somewhere that explains what's going on. Probably a support document? I don't have time to do client patches right now.

What is this? Fixed a while ago.
