Setting mail.addr_book.add_item_default_uri

I-Thunderbird Oqhagamshelana nabo

Anyone know how to use the new setting "mail.addr_book.add_item_default_uri" in 155? The default value is a URI, "jsaddrbook://abook.sqlite", how do I figure out the URI of an alternative? I want to point it to my CardDAV server, do I just set it to the CardDAV URL?

do you have the carddav addressbook in Thunderbird? copy the URI used internally to load it I would guess.

This is the implantation bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1735630 That is all I know .

Unfortunately that doesn't work. There's talk of UI exposure in the bug but it looks like it hasn't been implemented. I don't see the point in implementing this and flagging it in the release notes if no-one has a clue how to use it.
