This bug affects latest version of lightning (fedora repo) and enigmail (rpmfusion repo). See #608489 and comments in bodhi update for F-13. It can be reproduce with a new profile, under i386 and x86_64. Can't say if it is language (non-english) specific, but, at least "fr" users are affected (and probably "de", as Stefan). From comment in update > xhorak - 2010-07-01 12:12:14 (karma: 0) > It seems that mozilla is having problem with extensions located in symlinked > directories (this is case of lightning): > https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=574458 > The shredder problem is covered here: > https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=575224 > Thanks for testing and feedback. I have test to remove symlinks and copy lightning + lightning-gdata + enigmail in extensions folder. Thunderbird works fine. - as thunderbird (like firefox) folder seems now stable /usr/lib(64)/thunderbird-3.1 for all minor release - as a new major version will change folder, but also (generally) breaks plugin compatibility I think we probably could directly install lightning + enigmail in extension without use the symlink workaround (required in previous fedora version) Other solution is to wait for a fix to mozilla bug 574458 What your thoughts ? Well https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=574458 apparently won't be fixed since a fix for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=551152 is in Trunk: they've indicated they aren't interested in backporting the changes. there's nothing more to discuss anywhere. and any other bug reports will just get closed. Apparently that counts as fixed. This seems to be fixed in 3.1.1. |
