1780323 - Address book manager initialised at start-up unnecessarily

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Geoff Lankow (:darktrojan)]

There's no reason for the address book manager to be initialised during normal start-up, but currently it does, for two reasons:

• the message header "edit contact" pop-up contains an address book menu list, which needs the list of address books
• telemetry data collection happens too early

In this bug I'll fix both of these and add AddrBookManager.jsm to the list of prohibited modules in browser_startup.js to ensure it doesn't happen again.

This panel contains an address books menulist, which requires the address book manager to start when the menulist is added to the DOM. This unnecessarily happens at start-up and impacts performance. Instead, add the panel to the DOM when (if) it is first used.

This doesn't need to run at start-up. It requires some things to load that otherwise may not load (such as the address book manager), and that adversely affects start-up performance.

Depends on D152238
