April 16th, 2011Version 3.3.5 Released!
February 21st, 2011ThunderBrowse version 3.3.5 has been released on AMO.
Update on ThunderBrowse 3.3.5
February 20th, 2011So Mozilla had me rewrite a couple sections because they were not up to standard. This is why 3.3.5 has not been released yet.
However, I’ve finally completed those sections and have just uploaded the new version to AMO. Hopefully it will be set to public soon. 
Announcing ThunderBrowse 3.3.5
February 3rd, 2011So I finally had a bit of time to update ThunderBrowse, it’s not a huge update but it will fix a couple of bugs that users have brought up. I’m working on a game at the moment, so the update is a bit sparse.
- Added compatibility for Postbox 2.1 and up
- Fixed bookmarks slowness
- Fixed inability to use bookmarks menu after choosing a menu item
- Fixed uninstaller bugs with disabling
- Updated uninstaller to work with newer versions of Gecko (the extension manager interface we used is being/has been removed)
- Fixed problems with plugins
- Speed up ThunderBrowse startup (removed the incompatible extension check as it’s not needed anymore)
- Updated locales
- General bug fixes
I’m uploading this version to AMO right now.
In addition, I would like to ask if anyone is using CS Lite still. I know it has to hook into a cookies interface (like the one that I copied from Firefox), but if no one is using it anymore, I would like to remove the tbcookies.js file as it’s a rather large file. If you are using ThunderBird 3, this should not apply to you.
Also, I’ve been receiving reports that TB2 tabs will cause RSS feeds to stop displaying. I’ve been unable to reproduce this bug, so if anyone has this happening to them with this version, please let me know (also include the RSS feed that you are having problems with [I only need one]).
New steps to getting plugins to work
January 4th, 2011So if nothing else has been working for you, then try the following:
- Open about:config (you can do this by typing in about:config in the url bar for ThunderBrowse or via Tools < Options < Advanced < General < Config Editor)
- In the filter bar, type plugin
- Verify the following settings are set to these values:
- plugin.scan.plid.all to true
- plugin.disable to false
- mailnews.message_display.allow.plugins to true
- Restart Thunderbird.
This should get everything working. I don’t think I have this set on my main dev machine, and I’ve been having problems with plugins but have been too busy to investigate it. I’m pretty sure I haven’t changed this pref on my main machine, which would mean this might be a bug that was fixed in Thunderbird.
Either way, that should do it. I’ve updated the settings code so it will modify these preferences as well.
