Question Time

Firefox has disabled the detection of extensions (bug 1602840) sideloaded from various parts of the filesystem. Do we want to do the same? This might be worth keeping for enterprise deployment, and we can keep it for now, it’s behind a build-system flag. See bug 1613848 - GL

Rob: Do we want an Whiteboard flag for Thunderbird in BugZilla for writing release notes for new versions (Beta versions-Stable easier) TB-ReleaseNotes ?

Aleca: How to fetch a contact card from LDAP directory with “DisplayNameUtils.getCardForEmail(email)”

pmorris: Are TB’s MailExtensions intended to be a superset of Firefox’s WebExtensions?
