I think that this GSFN user got an excellent question:<br>- We know that QuickText caused Thunderbird 17 to crash since one month<br>- We have a routine which check add-on compatibility after a Thunderbird update<br>- but we don't change QuickText compatibility in order to indicate that it is not compatible with TB17!!!<br>
<br>Any good reason for that?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername">Mozilla Messaging</b> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:noreply.mozilla_messaging@getsatisfaction.com">noreply.mozilla_messaging@getsatisfaction.com</a>></span><br>

I think we've all agreed that the problem is Quicktext. However, the installation process for TB and Firefox has a "Checking addons for compatibility" routine, which doesn't catch Quicktext.
<br><br>
What is the checking routine then doing?
