My Reviews

Lightning

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

This add-on was added with a Thunderbird update without prompting me to approve. With the latest update of Thunderbird 45.1.1 one of my essential add-ons was broken. Thanks, Mozilla. Two hours of lifetime wasted while trying to detect the misbehaviour and repair addon functionality.

The solution was to disable Lightning. Do not (!) remove it because it might come back with the next update.

Mozilla staff: Stop giving me something I didn't ask for without prompting me.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (4.7). 

Identity Chooser

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Lightning was added with a Thunderbird update without prompting me to approve. With the latest update of Thunderbird 45.1.1 Identity Chooser was messed up. Thanks, Mozilla. Two hours of lifetime wasted while trying to detect the misbehaviour and repair addon functionality.

Solution Steps (no warranty!):
a) Download "identity_chooser-1.9.3-sm+tb.xpi", in case something goes wrong.
b) Luckily, the settings are preserved in PREFS.JS, so do not (!) edit this file.
c) Remove Identity Chooser from the addons. Restart TB.
d) You will see a down arrow on "Write". When you click on it, it says "Message - Event - Task" instead of your identities.
e) Disable Lightning. Do not (!) remove it because it might come back with the next update.
f) Restart TB. Reinstall Identity Chooser from addons page or XPI.

Five stars for "Identity Chooser", zero stars for Lightning.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.9.3).
