[Mozilla Enterprise] Thunderbird 68.2.0 preinstalling add-ons

[Osdoba, Sascha]

Dear Marco,

thanks for your mail, now i have it all together :)

My setting - pref("extensions.enabledScopes", 11);  - prevented TB to see the addons after putting them to "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Mozilla Thunderbird\extensions\"
After changing 11 to 7, I can see them now and user is only able to disable them.

I completely forgot those scope settings at all because it was quite working years so I had to read Mikes old (2012) article again...



Thanks

In this way, extensions get installed/updated in user profile at first run.

You can also put extensions (again, 'XPI files with the ID as name')
in:
	"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Mozilla Thunderbird\extensions\"

in this way extensions are enabled, and users can only disable them (eg 'system extensions', cannot uninstall).


I don't remember if is mandatory or not, you have also to set 'extensions scope' via AutoConfig:

	pref("extensions.autoDisableScopes", 8);
	pref("extensions.enabledScopes", 7);

(this, Mike, have to migrate in policy...)
