Variable browser.dkimheader undefined. #260

Closed egberts closed 3 years ago

egberts commented 3 years ago

Thunderbird 78.10.1 dkim_verifier 4.0.0 No other Add-On plugins.

After removing the private browser settings (issue #259, that is normally found in Firefox) from the Thunderbird config editor, and restarting the Thunderbird executable process,

I get an undefined reference to browser.dkimheader.

:-(

The add-on contains so called experiments to do some privileged things (see also https://github.com/lieser/dkim_verifier/wiki/FAQ#why-does-the-add-on-need-full-unrestricted-access-to-thunderbird). For an unknown reason they do not seem to be initialized correctly by Thunderbird.

Can you please try:

  1. Remove the add-on
  2. Restart Thunderbird (if one time does not help, please also try it with two restarts, even if I think it will not make a difference)
  3. Add the add-on again

This should result in Thunderbird deleting any data of the add-on, hopefully getting it in a working state again.

Please also check if you may have missed any other error shown before the one you posted, that could be related.
