If it works with a simple contenteditable element in Firefox, then Thunderbird is doing something that it should not be doing. I have no idea what that might be though. But at any rate, that is off topic for this bug. > Can an callback be installed > that the editor calls when new nodes are created in the DOM tree? You can use a mutation observer to be notified when new nodes are injected into the tree, but like I said, that doesn't help if Thunderbird is doing something that it should not be doing. > So far I get the following picture of the interaction between Thunderbird > and the editor: > 1) Thunderbird invokes the editor and communicates the initial conditions, > font, size, etc. > 2) The editor does all the editing.

I'm not familiar enough with the Thunderbird side of things to be able to tell how it interacts with Gecko. And I don't know anyone who does.
