@Wayne Mary Wayne Mery Yes, the addons site opens now normally. The "User-Agent" field is empty (no, I didn't erase it intentionally).

konstantin2,

Any add-ons still not working for you? And if so, which ones?

OK, 2 months passed, and certain extensions begain to become compatible again (Im at version 68.2.1)

Also (without intervention on my side) the User-Agent is now

"Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/68.2.1"

and I managed to install "Remove Duplicate Message (Alternate)".

So the answer to my initial issue is "Find anything similar or just wait, perhaps the extension author will make it compatible".

Thanks.

i have addon that are supposed to work but do not I updated to 68.2.0 and tried to instal emoji 1.61 that said i was compatible with it but when i went to write all i see is the empty square so i went back to and older version

After you install Emoji and restart TB, select View/Emoji or click the Emoji icon to open the sidebar (see picture). Tested and working in TB 68.2.1/Emoji 1.68.1.

it did not open for me not in 68.2.1 i tried and it did not open i just got a blank square I went to the menu bar and checked emoji and nothing showed up I updated from 6.0 did not uninstall just updated

i did   what you said and  got  nothing in the side  bar

there is no emji to click on to open side bar

my thunderbird does not look like this i am using windows 7 and i am using it through comcast

it did not work did not see any emoji in the adress bar or anywhere on the menu bar

We just went through this nonsense a few months ago when we had to upgrade from 52 to 60, and yet here we are again.

Hi everyone, I wanted to follow up on this topic because something very strange has happened.

I had tried to use the config editor and usually I have not had any issues with this but on this occasion while trying to adjust the ayout.css.devPixelsPerPx setting I accidentally added a zero when entering the value (!) This broke my Thunderbird completely because even though I tried to minimise the window etc I could not manage to see anything clearly enough to go back and correct my mistake.

Fast forward, I uninstalled Thunderbird and then deleted all files and reinstalled it again from scratch using the 60.8 version. I turned off automatic updates - BUT within about 10 minutes while I was setting up my mail accounts it somehow still updated to version 68.

Now the weird part! Somehow - my TT dark theme is fully working on this version! Calendars and all! I would love to take credit but I can't. so if anyone wants me to show any specific config code or if there is any way that I can help anyone else get set up with a fully functional dark theme on version 68 (!!) Let me know!

On this occasion - thank you to the computer gremlins and the ghosts in the machine!
