<p>Hi Axel</p>
<p>You should be able to get things working again by replacing the
install.rdf file with a WebExtensions style manifest.json file,
which includes the key "legacy" set to true.</p>
<p>There's been a mountain of work by a number of people to get
things to work like they did before, or as close as possible. I
have a stack of about 6 or 7 patches waiting to land which should
make things better in a lot of cases. I'm awaiting one final
review, so it should be landing any day now. Probably best to wait
until that happens.</p>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I was just asked about whether my Add-ons would run in
Thunderbird Daily (they don't) - so I updated to Tb63... the
good news is that literally all Add-ons don't run (not just my
ones) except for a bootstrapped one. I believe Fallen
mentioned there may be a temporary back door / hack to make
them work. Could somebody point mee to somee resources to
write some proof of concept code? My 100,000 users would be
thankful if they knew I was working on future proofing their
Extensions.</p>
<p>I also mentioned to Ryan Sypes that we should have a weekly
(or bi-weekly) hangout with Thunderbird ADd-on developers to
discuss next steps regarding writing APIs for transitioning
our Add-ons to (whatever it is that's going to replace XPCOM)
/ (Insert your technology of choice) / (Web Extensions??????).
There is only uncertainty left at the moment, so we badly need
an action plan from the Thunderbird leadership. Don't want to
wait until the next ESR and just "pull the plug". <br>
</p>
<p>Completely rewriting our Add-ons will likely take months, and
that's on top of creating the new extension environment (APIs
etc.).<br>
</p>
<p>thanks in advance,<br>
Axel<br>
