addons dont work v60

what are they doing to TB? v60.3.1

the thing that made it great was the addons.

now most of the addons don't work in v60.3.1

brilliant - who's bright idea was that?

why didn't they look at the most popular addons and include them in the code, configurable in the options.

why wasn't minimize to the system tray the default? or at least an option?

who wants a big icon sitting in the task bar at the bottom of the screen?

why doesn't it start minimized in the system try?

addons provided all this but now they don't work!!!!

i can't find a version of the calendar for v60.

also the new programing team break firefox in nearly every release.

i spend more time trying to sort out the mess every time they update things.

now i have to waste time trying to sort out TB60

time to look for alternatives to both i think. :-(

i have been using Thunderbird for a very very long time but this release takes the biscuit!!!! so very annoyed they are breaking it all the time.

will have to see if i can go back to whatever version was before, but that may mess things up so much it may not be worth the hassle. may lose all my contacts and emails!!!!!

may be simpler to switch to another email client.

also the write wind sometimes comes up in a narrow window, or sometimes things just dont work and i have to restart TB.

i want the exit X to minimize not exit, yet another addon that no longer works!!!!!!

what a mess

thank you for the FireTray 0.6.2 (available on GitHub)

that worked a treat.

I just wish I didn't have to spend so much time fixing things when the powers-to-be release an update!

I will have a look at the calendar option in the morning. I have my doubts as in the confusion with compatibility I think I un-installed it, but i will give it a go.

thanks again.

One other major add on that now doesn't work is the extra format buttons that give you pixel sizing for fonts (like in Word) and also subscript, strikeout etc. Why on earth don't Mozilla just include these features in the new release! Beats me. Text size (not just small/medium/large) is a basic function. Even Microsoft discovered it about 50 years ago! I have rolled back to version 52 and everything is back to normal. I understand that updates will sometimes not be compatible with all add ons, but really some basic features should be installed with the update. Even the return receipt button doesn't work any more.

Thanks but the pixel size is the main element I wanted. By the way, in version 60 the option for ...extensions.strictCompatibility doesn't exist. Looks like I'll stick with the earlier version for now
