CardBook
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Great add-on, but there is a problem in V97.7 with printing the address book:
From memory I previously selected the category then chose Print from the top menu. It then showed a print preview and allowed me to select which fields I wanted to include.
I now have Cardbook V97.7 and if I do the same the print preview shows just a copy of the screen.
If I right-click on the category and select Print Preview it looks the same as before, listing the required fields on the right-hand side, but the page preview is blank
UPDATE: I have since found that by default the page preview selects all fields. If I deselect some then the preview shows as before BUT it doesn't include the postal address, which is one of the reasons for printing an address book! Selecting and de-selecting the Addresses field makes no difference.

Further to my previous review, I agree with the developer's response that you can send to a group by typing the group name. However, I have one group named Lions and another named Lions CSC. If I type Lions it lists all members of that group but only selects the first name on the list.
I found a solution by changing the group name from Lions to Lions Members. It seems that the app is confused if one group name is a subset of another

I have just installed the add-on hoping it will meet all my needs. I already have a Thunderbird address book and a Google contacts account. I have created groups in both so I can send emails to multiple recipients from either Thunderbird or an email app on my phone.
One task I often do is to forward incoming emails to a group in my Thunderbird address book, or a Google Contacts group on my phone. It there a way to do this using Cardbook?
gContactSync
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
I have created a number of address books (e.g. Relatives, Christmas Cards and Friends). When I Edit Accounts the right-hand pane doesn't always update, or allow me to Find All Groups, so I can't be sure that the mapping is correct. At other times it does work correctly.
Also my Friends address book won't update, so I have entries in Google Contacts but none in Thunderbird. When Edit Accounts does work I've tried renaming the address book at both ends (e.g. to Mates or Friend) to no avail. Edit Accounts shows no difference between it and other address books

I have the same problem as others: The app used to work, then stopped. I Reset all gContactSync settings then tried to create a new account linked to my gmail address and get Error 403: rate_limit_exceeded. This seems to be a developer problem so I have reported it to them but they haven't replied.

There are numerous comments that the extension doesn't work with the latest version of Thunderbird. However, this fixes it:
Go to Thunderbird>>Tools>>Options>>Advanced>>General>>Config Editor
Scroll down to extensions.tbsortfolders@xulforum.org.accounts
Right-click and select Reset
Repeat for extensions.tbsortfolders@xulforum.org.defaultaccount
Restart Thunderbird
