Is there a bug report for this?

If you mean the bug that add-on compatibility is not checked when
first run, but only once the timed (daily) update check takes
effect, it's hard to think that one would mean less users except
for for part of a day. After that, it would have updated and you'd
be back to normal again.

<p>no; <b>I mean Thunderbird ALWAYS reports the Add-ons being
incompatible</b>. I have several such reports from users, and
had to do a manual reinstall on my dad's PC after upgrading from
an older version of Tb60.</p>
<p><b>You can check for updates manually and it doesn't work, even
after restarting</b>. The only way you can update the Add-ons is
by:<br>
</p>
<p>1) searching for the addon name<br>
2) clicking teh green [Add to Thunderbird] on the Add-ons
description page to force reinstallation</p>
<p>I guess manual deinstallation / installation from disk will also
work.<br>
