How should that alone work? To my understanding, TB 68 dropped the classic overlay hooks via chrome.manifest.

I have compiled and installed this version, but do not seem to get it to work properly. It no longer claims it to be a legacy extension, but I am not able to add an Exchange Calendar.

I though I should see a choice for an exchange calendar in this windows? Or am I wrong* I am using Thunderbird 68.1.0 on Linux.

I'm currently re-animating the Toggle Word Wrap addon because it's essential for my workflows. Seems that "legacy": true in manifast.json can reactivate thinks to a good degree. I just had to change one interface name. Anyway, this "legacy" tag is missing in that PR. Will try adding that later.

The bad news is this, though: https://developer.thunderbird.net/add-ons/tb78

Made "progress" with this patch:

This is the progress, shown during TB startup:

There is more in the logs. I've no idea what all that means.

Are we allowed to push commits to this branch, or is that restricted to the branch creator?
