Thunderbird options? about firefox-profile-js HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @Standard8 ,

I know nothing about thunderbird development, so it's hard for me to answer.

My first impression would be to keep them separate: my main argument would be: single responsibility principle.

But I would be open to add some thunderbird features to this repo if you can provide more information about the type of features you would like to add to this repo. Maybe if you can tell me about thunderbird profile creation: are the steps similar to the firefox profile creation? Or maybe they are the same?

Thank you!

Thunderbird uses Gecko (the backend of Firefox) - and hence has pretty much the same profile mechanism. The main differences happen to be slightly different locations for when there profiles are stored on the user's disk.

Some of the default prefs that we might want to set are also likely to be different.

For what I'm doing, I mainly need the profile_finder.js - though obviously set up for Thunderbird.

The simple diff there is something like:

(I've not confirmed the Linux/Windows paths are correct yet).

I see. Feel free to open a PR!

I am curious: are you also interstered in getting a base64 encoded profile? Is there a way to run selenium with thunderbird?
