Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Bill Gianopoulos [:WG9s]]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20050103 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 0.6+ 20050107

In the post aviary landing trunk nightlies, extensions do not appear to work. 
Extensions that are already installed show up as enabled but appear
non-functional.  THose I have tried include AddressConext and WorldWeather.  It
could be those are just no compatable, but I suspect the problem is that
Thunderbird is not initializing the extensions upon startup.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install an extension
2. Restart Thunderbird
3.

Actual Results:  
The extension is non-functional.

Expected Results:  
THe extension should be working.

Should have mentioned this in the initial comment.  I am not sure this is really
an aviary-landing bug.  Today's nightly is the first one, post landing, that I
could get to run at all and this bug was present.  It is therefore possible that
it was caused by a post landing check-in.

Sorry for the bugspam.

the trunk is listed as version 0.6. you could only install an extension that was
listed as being compatible with 0.6. I doubt there are any out there that are...

pretty sure this is going to be marked as invalid.

Please read my comment again.  This isuue is NOT with installing incompatable
extensions.  These extensins are listed as comapatable with version 0.6, do in
fact install with no incompatability error message.  They just do not function.

But it appears the bug is invalid after all.  I have managed to get a version of
addressConext to work.  So eveidntly the extensions will run if they are in fact
compatable, but some extensions makred as compatable are not really.
