I am not going to engage in lengthy discussions on the politics of FSF/GNU or whatever - it is OT really.

Not helped by Moz devs completely changing the API etc so it needs a major rewrite. I guess you could take some inspiration from the WeTransfer extension embedded in TB But yes, I don't think anything will now change and TB/DL is a lost cause. > Since Yuri seems to have lost interest in the project, maybe he might > be persuaded to change the web site to reflect the current status of > DL thunderbird addon. I think that might be being unkind. I believe it is due to circumstances beyond his control. But no one should speculate. It's sad. It happens. Yes, the web site/git page should probably be changed. I guess that begs the question as to whether anyone else will take it on/maintain it? I'd happily help, but my coding skills are nowhere near good enough. B. Rgds John
