STR:

  1. Open Thunderbird, do not select any messages.
  2. Right click on a mail message and click Convert To > Email.

Expected Results:
The new event dialog should load.

Actual Results:
Nothing loads, an error is thrown.

It appears that there is no contentWindow available (or access is restricted) when message pane displays the "Welcome to Thunderbird" screen.

^ The code trying to access it however, appears to be specific to an extension and not necessary for the extraction to continue.

So should I remove the Thunderbird Conversations specific code or just ignore that block if the content window is not available?

Never mind, this can be fixed easily.
