Comment installer des extensions :

Le cas de figure idéal

Dans un monde idéal, toutes les extensions que vous désirez sont officiellement vérifiées, approuvée et sont disponible sur le site web officiel, Addons.mozilla.org .

Si vous êtes dans cette catégorie, il vous suffit d'aller dans l'onglet du gestionnaire de modules pour Thunderbird, en utilisant l'entrée de menu New Fx Menu puis Thunderbird app menu >add-ons et de saisir le nom de l'extension dans la boîte de recherche.

Voici ce que donne une recherche avec le mot "Contacts": Addon tab

Une fois que vous avez repéré ue extension qui vous plaî, cliquez sur Intaller, attendez que le téléchargement soit achevé puis cliquez sur Redémarrer Thunderbird si un message vous le demande.

Un cas de figure un peu moins idéal

You may have been given an URL for the add-on, or the add-on you want isn't on the "official" page. Searching for it, as shown above, doesn't locate the your add-on.

Visit the webpage in your browser, right-click the download link with your mouse, select "save link as", and save the XPI file to a location on your computer that you can find again. As the download is temporary it is suggested you use either your downloads folder or your desktop.

If you are using older versions of Firefox, a left-click on the download link will see your browser try and install the add-on into itself. This invariably results in an error about compatability as the add-on is for Thunderbird. If you're using another browser, a left-click might result in your browser attempting to download and "open" the xpi file. This is basically a small program, so it is not meant to be opened. It has to be saved to disk

To install a downloaded XPI file into Thunderbird you have two options.

Télécharger

Right-click the link and select Save As or Save Link As as discussed earlier.

You will be invited to download and save the file. Most browsers have a default download location, often your Desktop. Make a note of where it downloads to, and what it's called. Some add-on files have silly names like “latest-234.xpi” which is not very helpful when you're trying to find it later on.

Open the Add-ons window in Thunderbird. There's a button to the left of the search window. CogWheelLinux Click this and from the subsequent menu select Install Add-on From File.

You will need to navigate in the file picker to where you saved the XPI file and select it to complete the install.

Glisser-déposer

  • Open the add-ons manager (New Fx Menu then appmenuAddons)
  • Drag your downloaded XPI file to the add-on manager tab and drop it.

If you are using Windows, you can even skip the desktop bit. Open your browser and Thunderbird side by side, with Thunderbird's Add-ons tab displayed. Drag the link directly from the browser onto Thunderbird's Add-on tab. The main advantage of this method is that you don't need to actually save a copy of the add-on on your hard disk before it is installed.
