489450 - Implement -silent command line flag for Thunderbird

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

Attachment: The fix

Toolkit apps (except Thunderbird) have a -silent command line flag that they use in testing to prevent starting up the UI but allow registrations to take place.

Unfortunately due to our command line handling, we override the toolkit command line handler with our own.

Rather than try and unpick our handling and let the toolkit command line handler take over, I think its just simpler to implement -silent in our command line handler.

This will enable "make reftest" and "make crashtest" to work which we decided we would make use of in the run up to releases (bug 485032).
