Description of problem: Thunderbird 1.5.x crashes on x84_64 with the Enigmail X86_64 0.94.0 XPI. This worked on FC4/TB1.0.x. How reproducible: Every time; unfortunately I can't see any debug messages that would help diagnosis. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install the x86_64 XPI from http://enigmail.mozdev.org/download.html 2. Restart Thunderbird 3. Try to do something with Enigmail, e.g. view a PGP-signed message Additional info: I'm not entirely sure whether this is a problem with Thunderbird; more likely I think that this should be a package included in Fedora Extras (apologies if this is the wrong place to request this), since the Mozdev site explicitly states that their builds are only for official Thunderbird builds. Mandriva do this with their mozilla-thunderbird-enigmail package, Suse includes it in their standard Thunderbird package, and Debian also provide a package. http://enigmail.mozdev.org/source.html has instructions for compiling your own XPI. http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=485173 has another report from someone else with the same problem.
Same problem here. In addition, compiling one's own XPI is totally nonobvious: my compilation fails due to mysterious g++ errors: /usr/bin/ld: nsEnigModule.o: relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against `NS_NewGenericModule2(nsModuleInfo const*, nsIModule**)' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value
This is a "visibility" problem. (re)building thunderbird with "ac_cv_visibility_pragma=no" is a workaround which solved this issue (allowing to build enigmail or to use the available xpi). Hope that's help.

This bug also affects ppc and thunderbird 2.0.0.0 Regards
I see this hasn't been addressed in a while. Enigmail is a good plugin that is certainly needed for those who don't wish to use Evolution. It would be nice if Fedora had enigmail and lightning, or at least worked with them.
