Summary	0001394: Frontend Plugins do not work on Thunderbird 5.0
Description	Mozilla released version 5.0 of their Thunderbird application. The 3 frontend plugins are not compatible with Thunderbird 5.0 After changing the max-version number in all install.rdf files to 5.* the plugins install successfully. As far as I can see now the integrator and lightning plugins work ok, but the integrator generates errors in the error-console of Thunderbird 5: iCc['@mozilla.org/extensions/manager;1'] is undefined chrome://sogo-integrator/content/messenger/startup-overlay.js Because of the integrator not working all special functionality like sharing etc is not functional.
Additional Information	I am not sure if this is the right category to report in but I didn't see any category for the frontends. Thunderbird 5.0 is being auto updated through Thunderbird 3 at the moment so soon many frontends will stop working. As i really need this functionality I will try to fix this as soon as possible and post the solution , if any, on this bug report.
Tags	No tags attached.

mzeedijk 2011-08-22 10:03 reporter ~0002816	Mozilla released version 6.0 of Thunderbird. Also here the frontend entensions do not work resulting in the same error message.

mleitner 2011-08-22 15:43 reporter ~0002818	I have looked into the sourcecode of startup-overlay.js (integrator) and messenger.groupdav.overlay.js (connector) The nsIExtensionsManager used by the startup-overlay.js has been replaced by a .js-module called Addon-Manager see https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Addons/Add-on_Manager/AddonManager https://developer.mozilla.org/en/nsIExtensionManager Aso, i have noticed a depricated Interface is used in startup-overlay.js Instead of the nsIPref interface the nsiPrefService and nsiPrefBranch interfaces should be used. http://doxygen.db48x.net/mozilla/html/interfacensIPref.html In messenger.groupdav.overlay.js the Inverse-Interface inverseIJSNotificationManager seems to be incompatible with Thunderbird 5. I could not figure out why. I guess fixing this isn't going to be trivial due to the scripts numerous dependencies on GECKO2 and XPCOM. I am unfamiliar with both, so i thought the best thing to do is post what i was able to find out about the cause of the problem.

I think that inverse is waiting for lightning 1.0 final for spend efforts on compatibility
