Wie kann ich herausfinden, in welchen Listen ein Kontakt enthalten ist, ohne in jeder Liste zu suchen? Es gab in der Kontakt-Anzeige einen "Suche"-Button, der alle Listen anzeigte, in denen dieser Kontakt enthalten ist. Dieser Button ist jetzt "ersetzt"(?) durch einen "Karte anzeigen"-Button.

If a contact belongs to more than one list, how can I find out in which ones it is (without looking into each list)? In the older version there was a Search-botton, when showing the contact details. When pressing this button, the related lists(s) of this contact were shown. Now this button is replaced(?) by a "show- map"-button.

Dear sfhowes, I'm sorry, taking your time! Your first answer was already correct and sufficient, but I did not understand what you meant firstly due to a translation problem Englisch/German and forgot to switch the preference "extensions.strict Compability" to false. After having done this, no problem to install the add-on, and it works again! Thank you!

Do I have to switch the "extensions.strict Compability" back to "true"? Or can/shall I leave it "false"?

The Search button is provided by the MoreFunctionsForAddressBook add-on. To install it, or make it possible to enable if already installed, open Tools/Options/Advanced/General/Config. editor and double-click the preference extensions.strictCompatibility to false, OK to close Options. A Show Map button appears only if a street address is entered for the contact.

Sorry, this does not help. When I try to install the add-on I get the message that "MoreFunctionsForAddressBook" (version 1.0b7) is not compatible to (my) TB version 60.3.2 . On the HomePage I found the info: "Read more - Download 1.0b7 (for TB 14 - 59) - For older version of Thunderbird click here". Does this mean that there is no add-on for TB version >=60? And if so, is there a workaround? Or another add-on/feature?

Did you switch the preference before trying to install? MoreFunctionsForAddressBook is working here in TB 60.3.2. To install, drag this link and drop it onto Tools/Add-ons/Extensions in TB.

Leave the preference as false or the add-on will be disabled. A fully compatible version may be released in the future.
