506221 - Thunderbird integration: Use the correct Application (FUEL/STEEL) object, correct version checks and account for some app differences

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Labs :: Jetpack Prototype, defect)

Description

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

Attachment: The fix

This patch does most of the corrections that are needed to get the basics working within Thunderbird.

With the patch applied the basic about:jetpack displays and can be switched between tabs etc. The editor can be used, and some of the simpler status bar tutorial items work, or work to some extent.

This also includes jetpack-app-nuances.js which is a file Andrew wrote to separate out some of the differences between Firefox & Thunderbird in a separate file.

There are also some changes for getting STEEL or FUEL depending on what is available.

In simple-storage.js I changed the version detection to use the gecko version as that seemed to be what it really wanted to check for.

Awesome, thanks Mark and Andrew!  I've reviewed this and committed it here:

It looks like this patch also adds about:jetpack to the Tools menu?  I don't think that functionality was in Jetpack before.  Anyhow, it's cool, so I committed that part too.
