I remember the nsis script that was used before also took care of
setting things like default filetype handlers etc. Is this still
done by that nsis exe, or does the maintenance service take care of
that?<br>

All,

<br>
From today's Daily builds, we will be enabling the maintenance
service that Firefox has. This is the background service that is
used to avoid the UAC prompt on Windows*. We have in place the
same structure as Firefox, and the majority of the code is
directly re-used.
<br>
<br>
We've tested this the best we can, and we don't expect any issues
with updates. However, I will be triggering an additional set of
Windows nightly builds a few hours after the normal builds to
confirm the updates are working correctly.
<br>
<br>
If you do see any issues, please file them in the "Installer"
component under "Thunderbird", and we'll triage them to toolkit if
necessary.
<br>
<br>
Tomorrow, I plan to be enabling background updates. These will be
available to all platforms, and mean that when updating
Thunderbird will download the update, apply the update to a copy
of the app directory, and on restart move that copy into place,
thus avoiding the delay of installation during the restart.
<br>
<br>
Assuming all goes well, these will be released in TB 17 at the
latest, but we may consider pushing one or both of them forward to
TB 16 - we need to see how reports go over the weekend.
<br>
<br>
Note that in both of these changes, you won't see the effect of
the change until you upgrade to the nightly after receiving the
first nightly including the fix (hence the additional nightly
today).
<br>
<br>
* The background service is only used on Windows, and currently
only applies to Windows 32 bit builds. Users of the testing-only
64 bit nightlies will have to wait until Firefox implements the
fully functionality there.
