Nautipolis, thank heavens (and the author <span

finally now compatible with Firefox 15.x, but ALL Most
Popular Themes are incompatible with Thunderbird 14.x.<br>
<br>
Anybody know why this is so? Thanks.<br>

<div>Because none of these themes have been updated to work with
that version. Also, when talking about nightly builds, version
numbers are largely useless, and build IDs (or the hg revision
your build was built from) are much more helpful.</div>
<div>A lot of theme developers don't officially support builds
other than release builds because of the difficulty of keeping
their themes compatible.</div>

<br>
Because both my Thunderbird and Firefox are Nightlies they are
therefore automatically updated - if there is an update that is -
when I start them.<br>
<br>
Therefore I saw - nor see - a reason to specify which "build" I am
using because it is always the very latest overnight build.<br>
<br>
Furthermore, I cannot see which "build" it is. Are you talking
here about some number or the date of the "build"/Nightly? If the
latter than I have already answered this. But if there is a number
then please tell me where to find it.<br>
<br>
The Nightly Thunderbird comes from this directory:<br>
<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/latest-comm-aurora/">http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/latest-comm-aurora/</a><br>
<br>
Is this the right or wrong directory?<br>
<br>
<br>
I seem to recall that some years ago one could make an Add-on work
because in its code was hard-coded a version of FF or TB and if
the version of FF or TB did not match this then the Add-on would
not work. But, using an editor, if one went into the code and
changed this hard-coded version number the Add-on would then work.<br>
<br>
Which is what made me ask the question: what is so special about
TB 14.x. But then, obviously, there is more to it than this.<br>

You can get the build id (hg revision) going to Help ->
Troubleshooting Information, and then clicking <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="about:buildconfig">about:buildconfig</a> in
the section "Application Basics".<br>
<br>
There should be a link similar to mine: <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-release/rev/5bcfa0da3be9">http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-release/rev/5bcfa0da3be9</a> (I'm
using the current release version)<br>
