RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Kai Engert (:kaie) (inactive account) 2013-06-12 14:43:51 UTC 
We must ensure that Add-On installation in Thunderbird works with Shared-System-Certificates.

As Thunderbird in RHEL 6.5 doesn't use Xulrunner, it must be patched separately.

Until an upstream fix has been made (timing unknown), we should apply the workaround patch that can be found in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=966424
Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2013-10-14 03:22:11 UTC 
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 2 Kai Engert (:kaie) (inactive account) 2013-10-15 20:03:06 UTC 
The fix for this bug is as simple as "apply the same patch to thunderbird that is already being applied to our firefox package"

It's unfortunate that this simple change couldn't get approval.
Comment 3 Kai Engert (:kaie) (inactive account) 2013-10-15 20:03:49 UTC 
Please reconsider for z-stream.

Customers using thunderbird and enabling shared system certs will face trouble.
Comment 4 Jan Kurik 2017-12-06 10:47:02 UTC 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is in the Production 3 Phase. During the Production 3 Phase, Critical impact Security Advisories (RHSAs) and selected Urgent Priority Bug Fix Advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available.
