NOTE: If you came here via google, this problem only applies to a nightly version of Thunderbird 3.0b2pre. It doesn’t apply to any other version.
Recently, a user brought up that ThunderBrowse doesn’t work for TB3.0b2pre (which I don’t officially support).
They said that ThunderBrowse would prohibit the loading of email messages and websites. In some cases (when I tested), it could also cause crashing. Looking at the changes, I found that pretty much any extension developer who hasn’t seen the file revisions would have their extension rendered useless as well.
The problem is that the Thunderbird developers had changed the name of the mail context menu. This meant that if your extension involves a menu, it’s probably broken.
The old context menu name is: messagePaneContext. The new one is mailContext or whatever.
So, the solution pretty much is to do some tricky file handling and hope for the best.
I do have a patch version available but I rather not just blast the file link. However, in this case I think I’m going to have to.
So, if you are having problems with TB3.0b2pre (you don’t if you have no idea what this means) you can download the patch here.
A fix will be in 3.2.3 and the fix will probably appear in the beta for it as well.
