944368 - upgrade thunderbird in-product jquery to 2.1

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Magnus Melin [:mkmelin]]

Currently we have jquery-1.6.4.min.js in tree. That's very old, and we should upgrade it to the latest 2.1 release (currently in beta) + and relevant jquery-ui libs. 

The 2.x series do not support IE < 9 (so probably dropped a lot of garbage we don't really need. 

http://blog.jquery.com/2013/11/15/jquery-1-11-02-1-0-beta-2-released/ also says
Our new “lazy feature detects” reduce the startup time for the library, which is especially good for mobile devices. If you never call the API, you never even need to run that code! We also found and removed some situations where jQuery unnecessarily forced a page layout to occur.
