SOLVED: Thunderbird 24 crashes when adding an .xpi file

Submitted by EOBeav on October 2, 2013 - 9:26pm

I'm pretty sure I've narrowed this down to a bug with the PA version of TBird. It's crashing whenever I try to load in a new extension, in this case the Lightning and Google Provider extensions. I haven't been able to replicate it in the desktop version of TBird 24 that I downloaded directly from their website. That seems to work fine in Win7.

What happens is I go to Add-ons-->Install Add-on from File, then navigate to the .xpi file, the entire app freezes up when I hit 'add'.

Addendum: I've tried this on two different Win7 machines with the same results.

Hi to all

I'm using thunderbird 24 with extension mail merge 3.5.0

The problem is that nothing happens.

I have a set of well-formed csv file (already used some other times).
I checked that the variables are all correctly typed (they are only 3).

When I start mail merge the working window appear for a moment but then e-mails are not created.

I've looked at the error console and find this:

TB Portable crashes system to blue screen on 64-bit OSs

Submitted by klungkung on September 20, 2013 - 6:01pm

I was forced to move away from TB portable months ago because it kept crashing my system (Win7 64) every time I received mail (sometimes if there were only a couple of emails retrieved it would crash to blue screen when I tried to view the retrieved emails). Seems to have been a common problem as there was a lot about this happening on the net. Couldn't find any solution to stop it crashing. Moved to DreamMail which worked well. Now the European support site for DreamMail is closing up.

compose font doesn't change

Submitted by georg_m on September 11, 2013 - 5:20am

i changed my tb display font via options->display->formatting->fonts->advanced. according to http://kb.mozillazine.org/Font_settings_in_Thunderbird this should also affect the compose window.
but it doesn't: the main display window is changed to the font i want, but when i write a new mail or reply, the font in the compose window is still unchanged (some monospace, which i dont like.)
i also switched the html option of my accounts off, so i only send plain text.

GPG Portable vs TBird Portable

Submitted by DannyJr on August 13, 2013 - 7:44am

I am trying to integrate GPG Portable to my TBird Portable, but I keep getting the following error message:

http://tinypic.com/r/2a8kqyw/5

I am using the latest GPG Portable (1.4.13) and the latest TBird Portable [17.0.8]. I hope someone can help me fix this so that I can enjoy secure emailing everywhere (hello NSA staffer!).

Previous versions?

Where can I find previous versions of Portable Thunderbird, for instance version 17.0.7? Sorry if this is answered elsewhere - I did do a search.

On the main Thunderbird Portable page, https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/thunderbird_portable, the "Other versions" link takes me to a page that does not seem to have a lot of versions including 17.0.7.
