TB 115 Upgrade - QuickFolders toolbar not displayed

[amfonda]

I've recently upgraded from TB 91.13.1 to TB 115.4.1 and I cannot bring up the QuickFolders toolbar. The TB menu item View > Toolbars does not have an item listed for QuickFolders. I have installed the QF v6.3 add-on (premium license validated) and have tried removing the add-on and then adding it again to no avail. Restarting TB or rebooting does not help. I've searched this forum and all the on-line FAQ but don't see why this is not working. What am I missing?

[RealRaven2000]

Sometimes you have to restart Thunderbird multiple times for the change to take effect. Can you see the QuickFolders settings dialog in Add-ons Manager?

[amfonda]

Yes, I've restarted TB more than 20 times since upgrading. No changes. Yes, I can see the QF settings dialog and I've searched for something that might be off. I saved my QF configuration from before the upgrade but the Load Configuration button does not respond.

Loading settings from the actual dialog is broken, (that's a separate issue) it's fixed here:

[amfonda]

OK, I downloaded and installed the test version in #425, but I see no changes to anything on my issue. I still cannot load my old configuration.

[amfonda]

Yesterday I went backwards to TB 115.0 and QF 6.2 and still had no QuickFolders visible. I've been at this for several days off/on.

[RealRaven2000]

Can you try add a bigger number in QF Settings / Advanced / init delay. Try 10000 for 10 Seconds of waiting... if youy can't fix it a Zoom call to see the behavior might be helpful...

[RealRaven2000]

Here is how to create a debug log:

First, open QuickFolders Settings. Then go to the advanced Settings page: Activate Debug mode (on the black bar on the bottom of advanced settings) Right-click debug mode, click on the disclaimer (it's safe as it only allows changing relevant debug switches)

Depending on what kind of error you are investigating, find the following additional debug settings and activate them:

setting	value
extensions.quickfolders.debug.firstrun	true
extensions.quickfolders.debug.interface	true
extensions.quickfolders.debug.updateFolders	true

Open the Errors console in Thunderbird's main menu: Tools / Developer Tools / Error Console. Clear the output

IMPORTANT: Configure the console as follows:

Now you're ready for a test - try to reproduce the error in QuickFolders by carrying out only the last actions that lead to the problem. In your case disable QF then enable it again. Clear the complete output before you enable QF.

Right-click on any message, then select Copy all Messages

OK, here's what I got:

[RealRaven2000]

that's not an awful lot... the prerelease versions should work anyway. At least it seems like the main() function of the background page is executed. But there should be a load more messages afterwards.,..

In main() there should also be a line QuickFolders: add toggle-foldertree command...

are there no errors or warnings apart from the manifest warnings that start with "1699..." ?

(I think these are partly from Firefox and may not even apply to Thunderbird Add-ons, but I need to confirm with @jobisoft from Thunderbird)

[amfonda]

I ran the debug routine again and got the same output. I'm not sure you're instructing me to do something else?

[RealRaven2000]

Not really. I trust you have enabled errors warnings and logs, then there should be a lot more activity. I will be out of office until Sunday, so i am going to ask John ( i think he created WindowListener) early next week…

[amfonda]

Yes, I enabled errors, warnings and logs.

Well I found something that works. I added a new mail account to Thunderbird and all of a sudden the QuickFolders toolbar appears. I did nothing else. I was able to load my old configuration and it looks fine except I want to center my tabs in the toolbar as I had done before. I don't see any option for that.

I am going to try and restart TB to see it this current state holds... NO, Quickfolders are now gone again. Drats!

Hah you jogged my memory. There may be a bug in the accounts API that van lead to crashes when there is an invalid account. My license code iterates all accounts in order to validate the license, maybe there is an old broken mail account that triggers the problem.

Most radical solution would be to create a new profile and then import the accounts one by one… but it would also guarantee much smoother operation for the future.

[amfonda]

Yeah, I can try that... first I'll try to remove/restore individual mail accounts in the same profile.

[amfonda]

How do I center my QF tabs within the toolbar?

[RealRaven2000]

Peobably

How do I center my QF tabs within the toolbar?

Please open a new issue you can tag it as question if you like.

[amfonda]

I created a new profile in Thunderbird... I added all my mail accounts... I closed TB in order to manually copy over my mail and calendar data... I restarted TB, then I added QuickFolders 6.3 add-on... and NO Quickfolders Toolbar is visible or shown in the Menu > View Toolbars list.

I tried the same trick and added another mail account... and the QuickFolder toolbar magically appears. Then I restarted TB and its gone... the exact same behavior as my original profile... which I will now switch back to.

[amfonda]

Well I found another temporary fix... if I go to Thunderbird Account Settings > Account Actions > Add Mail Account... then cancel... the QuickFolders Toolbar miraculously appears... temporarily, until I close/restart Thunderbird again... then it is gone again.

I've got a support ticket in at Mozilla now. I'm starting to think this is a Thunderbird issue.

[RealRaven2000]

interesting can you reset error console, just before you create the account. then do the step you describe and capture the log immediately afterwards? it sounds like the code that iterates the accounts is stuck and becomes "unstuck" when you create the account; if my theory is right we should see all the missing messages from QF immediately after you made the account...

do you use any addons that create special accounts such as localfolders or owl?

OK, I recreated the sequence I described above, capturing the debug output, first deleting anything, then running it and copying everything produced:

thanks. not a single message here is from QuickFolders, if you disable thje two points "info and debug" but leave errors, warnings and logs enabled, does it look the same?

Could this issue have something to do with the prefs.js file in my Thunderbird profile directory?

I have one other issue with my upgrade to TB 115 which is that my local calendars disappeared and I cannot add any new local calendars that reside on my computer. Remote calendars via internet connections work fine. So I was troubleshooting this and I found a forum message that resolved a similar problem by restoring an older prefs.js file from a previous profile.

So I tried using the prefs.js file from my TB 91.13 profile (copying over while TB is closed) and unfortunately it did not solve my calendar issue AND it also disabled my workaround for QuickFolders. I've been able to invoke QF by 'faking' the addition of a new mail account (I cancel before adding anything), but the old prefs.js file would not allow me to do that.

So I reloaded the newer prefs.js file (created under TB 115) and it worked again. I've examined the prefs.js file and it has all of my TB settings including add-ons such as QF. Could there be something in there that needs fixing? I noticed that most/all of the contents of prefs.js is also accessible through Config Editor which is probably a safer way to modify prefs.js. What do you think?

Edit: Now I realize that the old prefs.js would never work because it has all the addresses and codes for my old setup, not the new one. Too much has changed. Good idea, but not much prospect of working.

[amfonda]

Also, I did not upgrade directly from 91.13 to 115.4... I first upgraded to TB 102... which was a disaster until I then tried 115.2 which resolved most of the issues. I have seen that many people had problems with 102, and in fact I had delayed upgrading because a couple of attempts rendered my whole TB workspace unrecognizable and I reverted back. Finally I forged ahead once I saw there was a new release in TB 115. Could there be some fragments of code or preferences that screwed up my profile?

Edit: No, I don't think this was the issue. I created a new profile and loaded it with my old TB 91.13 folder contents. Then I switched to that profile, with TB 115.4.2 installed, and it came up into the same state as my newer profile... i.e. - the same two issues are present (Missing Calendars and QF Not Starting). So my conclusion is that its a TB 115 issue, nothing to do with the TB 102 intermediate step.

[RealRaven2000]

Still a bit stumped by this one, even when reading your log - the toolbar not displaying at all seems to point to an issue with the WindowListener / WindowLoader - which injects the xhtml into the main document. Either injection fails or something makes the toolbar invisible. Just remind me, do you see the item in the view menu?

As far as I remember, you don't see this at all so it's not invisible but really not present at all?

[amfonda]

Yes, correct... upon starting TB, the QuickFolder Toolbar item is not visible in the View menu. It becomes visible only after I do the Add Mail Account trick. Immediately after doing that, the QF toolbar appears in the View menu and the actual QF toolbar starts initializing and then appears on its own after about 5 seconds. I don't need to select it in the View menu, it appears on its own, while I am viewing the mail tab.

[amfonda]

Still no resolution to this bug. I'm using the workaround each time I open Thunderbird where I start to add a new mail account then cancel, which invokes Quickfolders to initialize. Hoping that somehow an update to either TB or QF will clear this bug.

[amfonda]

Still no resolution on this issue. I continue to use a workaround to initilize Quickfolders each time I open Thunderbird (Account Settings > Account Actions > Add Mail Account > Cancel). I'm using TB 115.11.1 and QF 6.6.1 as per normal updates.

I see the latest QF 6.6.1 update has a note: "Known Issue: The verification of QuickFolders licenses currently doesn't work when the license is bound to an exchange account when it is accessed using Owl. This is likely due to a bug in the web extensions API." I believe this is the same faulty license access issue and await eventual resolution.

I have no idea what Owl is and if I am bound to an exchange account. I do not believe this applies to my setup. How do I troubleshoot this?

[RealRaven2000]

I suggest we do a Zoom call when I am back from my annual leave - so that would be possible from August 1st. Please suggest a day and time and reach out to me via email to arrange detail.

You can use the support tab on QF settings to write to me directly:
