Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Volkmar W. Pogatzki]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040720 Firefox/0.9.1+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040720 Firefox/0.9.1+

Got the latest nightly from
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/2004-07-21-04-0.8/thunderbird-i686-linux-gtk2+xft.tar.gz
and tried to start it with a clean profile created with 0.9.1 just before.

Starting "/opt/thunderbird/thunderbird" from the command line leads to display
of the message:
*** loading the extensions datasource
but no Thunderbird comes up.

Starting profilemanager with "/opt/thunderbird/thunderbird -profilemanager" only
opens a window "thunderbird-bin" with "<dialog".

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. download Thunderbird latest Aviary
2. install it
3. run /opt/thunderbird/thunderbird

Actual Results:  
Display of message:
*** loading the extensions datasource

Expected Results:  
Starting Thunderbird
