990873 - Skip Integration Always Displays on Startup

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1036592

(Thunderbird :: OS Integration, defect)

Description

[Nathan]

Attachment: My "Skip Integration" dialog

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/33.0.1750.154 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Open Thunderbird.


Actual results:

The "System Integration" dialog appeared, with the "E-Mail" and "Feeds" options checked and disabled (I can't uncheck them). The "Always perform this check when starting Thunderbird" option has been unchecked.


Expected results:

The dialog should not nag me every time I open the application. I do not have a program for a default E-Mail or Feed reader INTENTIONALLY. Once I have UNCHECKED "Always perform this check when starting Thunderbird", I fully expect it to STOP CHECKING when I start Thunderbird.

Which button do you click to dismiss the dialog?

Comment 2

[Nathan]

I click the "Skip Integration" button. I do not want my E-Mail and Feeds to default to Thunderbird, but they are checked and disabled, so I do not click the "Set Default" button.

If setting TB as default for mail is checked and disabled that means TB thinks it is already the default application. Is that true?
If you hover the mouse ofer the item, do you get the tooltip that defaults can't be removed?

Also, try to visit the dialog via tools->options->advanced->Check now... Is there any difference there?

As experiment 2, can you try adding
user_pref("mail.winsearch.firstRunDone", true);
user_pref("mail.winsearch.enable", false);

to your prefs.js file in your TB profile, while TB is not running?

Also, do you see the checkbox "Allow Windows Search to search messages" in the dialog?

It does eliminate the prompt. See my comment in Bug 1036592

Jerry, we do not know if you have the same problem as the reported yet. I'd like to hear from him.

tools->options->advanced->Check now displays the same dialog with the same options. I have now installed another mail program (Outlook 2013) for work purposes, but am still using TB as my newsreader. The installation of a new mail program (which is now my default mail application) had no effect on how that dialog appears. I have also upgraded to the latest version with no results. Installing TB on a separate machine (Windows 7 instead of Windows 8), I have not experienced this issue. Possibly an issue with the version of Windows?

I will attempt adding those settings to my prefs.

Just adding the:

user_pref("mail.winsearch.firstRunDone", true);

fixed it. I did not have to use the other option. Thanks!
