Hello,

I'm trying to migrate our users from TB31 to TB38. In version 31, I was using auto-configuration in my deployment. It worked great but now it doesn't work. When I open the config editor, I don't see key "general.config.filename " or any keys starting by "autoconfig.". On my web server, I don't see any request coming from the client.

Note that this still work with TB38 on Windows. The problem is only with OSX clients.

Is it a known bug ?

This is my config files:

--- Thunderbird.app/Contents/MacOS/defaults/pref/autoconfig.js

 // Load config file.
 pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
 pref("general.config.filename", "thunderbird.cfg");

--- End file

--- Thunderbird.app/Contents/MacOS/thunderbird.cfg

 // Autoconfig
 var env_user = "";
 if(getenv("USER") != "")
 {
   env_user = getenv("USER");
 }
 else
 {
   env_user = getenv("USERNAME");
 }
 var mail = "";
 if (env_user!="")
 {
   mail =  env_user + '@domain.tld';
 }
 lockPref("mail.identity.useremail", mail);
 lockPref("autoadmin.append_emailaddr", true);
 lockPref("autoadmin.global_config_url", "https://mozilla-autoconfig.domain.tld/thunderbird.php");
 lockPref("autoadmin.failover_to_cached", true);
 lockPref("autoadmin.offline_failover", true);

Bump.

Nobody have the problem or nobody use that feature? Should I open a bug report?
