Attachment: Settings > config editor

For a proper bug report you haven't explained in this bug report how it is broken nor what steps you have attempted.

If you are looking for about:config, it is not accessed in Thunderbird in the same way was Firefox. In Thunderbird, you do Settings > General > scroll to the bottom > click "Config editor". See screen shot.

I put it in the other bug report - linked - which one of your contemporaries closed without explanation.

For OSS to work, we need to collaborate, not dismiss each other.

Thanks, I have now found it.

There are various 'help' articles that are out of date and need fixing.
