1750466 - Unwanted mailto: handlers added to Thunderbird by default

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Upstream Synchronization, defect)

Description

[Geoff Lankow (:darktrojan)]

Bug 1733497 moved some regional settings for Firefox into uriloader/exthandler/HandlerList.jsm. These include mailto: handlers which are inappropriate in Thunderbird (clearly) and also cause any test which opens the Preferences tab to fail by attempting to load the GMail favicon.

I'm going to make a temporary fix for this so that we can get our tests back again. It may turn out to be a long-term fix if we determine that we aren't ever going to use data from HandlerList.jsm.

Oh, I broke some XPCShell tests instead … I probably should've expected that. Still, a net positive.

I'm not sure what a good way forward here is. I feel like HandlerList.jsm should belong in browser, with a mail version that has no handlers. But that may not be practical. Mike?

That's an interesting idea, I just need to figure out where the file should go.

Or we can #ifdef THUNDERBIRD in the handler list...
