<p>Dear Wayne,</p>
<p>
<blockquote type="cite">Can you be more specific? Which support
page?</blockquote>
Sorry I had a screenshot of the windows notification but I threw
it away. it was a support topic on support.google.com/someNumber
IIRC. It's not in my browser history as it didn't redirect
properly.</p>
<p>
<blockquote type="cite">
<p>Apart from still supporting Addons, are there any
significant improvements planned in Thunderbird ESR 60.*
which can land this ESR period?</p>
<p>There will certainly be fixes and improvements as was done
during 52.* but in general it would be a mistake I think to
predict and publicize them. Also depends what you mean by
"significant". And if a change involves strings, the answer
is no, because we are in string freeze.</p>
</blockquote>
String freeze during the whole year? I meant the ESR Release
including all versions 60.0, 60.1, 60.2 etc. - so I may have
worded it awkwardly. Sort of an outlook into the changes planned
for next 12 months to avoid nasty surprises for the users. (such
as, hey, we got rid of Add-ons altogether)</p>
<p>
<blockquote type="cite">Exceptions to predicting ... I hope the
dev staff agrees that webextensions support would land during
60.* if it doesn't happen before we release 60. And by
providing the maildir converter in 60 no doubt maildir fixes
will follow. </blockquote>
Even though I am a legacy guy, I think this is <b>good news</b>.
At least we can start writing some tests... (not quite sure what
to do in a content Tab, apart from showing my web pages, but I
will get there eventually. I like floating, non-modal, topmost
windows. Most tool windows in professional applications
(photoshop, cubase, pro tools) are like this - examples:
floating tool palettes, preview windows, instrument & FX
plugins, etc etc etc - these all wouldn't work well in tabs as
they take focus away from the users main work in the 3-pane or
composer windows; tabs are not a one stop solution for <i>everything</i>)<br>

<p>The reason I am asking I just opened 60b3 and was greeted
with the usual message of not being able to access my gmail
because of the whole "less secure apps" google restriction -
this may be due to using an older test profile, or it may be
due to recent changes of google APIs (?).</p>
<p>It was kind of awkward as I got a windows notification
which referred to a non existent support page</p>

<p>Can you be more specific? Which support page?</p>
