Hi,

    With NTT Version 2.5.1 in Thunderbird I no longer have an "Override All Compatibility Button."  I also didn't have one when I tried various betas versions of Firefox 4 with the Nightly Tester Tool for the FF4B, but for the time-being that is secondary.  Any idea what might be going on?  Thanks.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Install NTT 2.5.1
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
No Override All Compatibility Button

Expected Results:  
An Override All Compatibility Button on the bottom right next to find updates.

There should be a "Force Addon Compatibility" checkbox now (as of Nightly Tester Tools 3.0) in the NTT menu that has the same effect.

Heather, saw that hit yesterday.  I am still incurring problems, even after checking the check box.  In particular, it would not unlock the extension "Autocopy" and when I uninstalled Autocopy and attempted to reinstall it, the installation was blocked (Autocopy 1.0.1 could not be installed because it is incompatible with TB 3.1.6)  Here's the link to Autocopy: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/383/  This holds true for both of my computers.

Thanks for pointing this out, I'm going to change NTT's compatibility to Thunderbird nightlies, a couple things don't work on Thunderbird 3.1. This shoud work on the nightlies though,

Heather,

    I am happy to report that NTT 3.1 hit my systems this evening and things are now functioning properly.  On one computer, where Autocopy was still in the extension list, but disabled, when NTT 3.1 fully installed, Autocopy became enabled.  On the other computer, where I had removed Autocopy, the extension was allowed to install by NTT 3.1.  Thanks, I rely on this extension quite a lot.
   Have a healthy and happy new year.

Jim
