That wasn't the feature I was looking for -- I can't install any
extensions for any user, including when running Thunderbird as root.
I wish I could help. The feature works for me. How do you install
Thunderbird? Meaning, the way the BLFS book outlines installation,
or some other method.
My method is roughly comparable to the BLFS instructions (that is, I
followed BLFS in a previous installation and now I just recall the
outline of the procedure). All I did was create a .mozconfig file
(attached), and then run ./configure && make && make install. I also
just ran the instructions at the bottom of the BLFS page about
"multi-user operation" but to no avail. I didn't install Engimail, so
aside from the different set of configuration options, I didn't install
the NSS headers (although I have a set from Firefox).
What puzzles me is something you said earlier in that *old* extensions
work, but you cannot add new ones. This is the exact *opposite*
behavior I see.
What happens when I run Thunderbird the first time is a message popping
up from nsExtensionManager that it is disabling existing extensions.
This I think is expected behavior according to every message I read.
I see this too, but I think the message is somewhat deceptive; I see
this in all 3 versions of Thunderbird I have installed (0.9, 1.0,
1.0.6), but only one of them (the last one) suffers from the symptoms I
am describing.
