*** PROFILE/STARTUP ISSUES ***
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If thunderbird seems to hang when first started, close it and re-run it
|
||
|
|
with the -ProfileManager option; create a new profile, then exit. Copy
|
||
|
|
ImapMail, Mail, and prefs.js (if they all exist; if not, copy the ones that
|
||
|
|
do) to the new profile and use that. Delete the old profile once you're
|
||
|
|
satisfied that the new one works correctly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The extensions problem shouldn't manifest itself if you encounter the
|
||
|
|
startup problem.

|
** EXTENSIONS ISSUES ***
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The first time thunderbird 0.7.3/0.8/0.9/1.0 is run, any extensions in
|
||
|
|
the local user's extensions directory (typically
|
||
|
|
~/.thunderbird/default.XXX/extensions) are disabled. You'll need to
|
||
|
|
remove the extensions directory, re-run thunderbird, and reinstall
|
||
|
|
them to get them working again if they're in the local user's extensions.
|
||
|
|
If they're system-wide extensions (such as enigmail) in /usr/lib/thunderbird,
|
||
|
|
reinstallation isn't necessary, only removal of the local extensions
|
||
|
|
directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*** NOTE ***
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please note that if you wish to use any extensions after installation,
|
||
|
|
including enigmail built with the port, the above procedure (removing the
|
||
|
|
local user's extensions directory) MUST be performed even if no other
|
||
|
|
extensions are installed, and even if a new user profile is created.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
************
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also, with 1.0.7, this can cause a segfault until the extensions directory
|
||
|
|
is removed.
