<big>'''Add-ons Guide for Thunderbird 57 and beyond'''</big>
Mozilla core have disabled "legacy" add-ons (not based purely on WebExtensions) in Firefox 57. Because this type of add-on is not supported from mozilla57 any more, many interfaces have been removed from Mozilla core.
* StopIteration [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Archive/Web/StopIteration]
== Removed in mozilla59 ==
* Inline options. Analysis on the way of how this feature can be restored, see were removed in {{bug|14191451414406}}. Current solutionThunderbird will not support that uncommon feature any more. Solution: Add-ons need to embed a WebExtension to display an inline options dialog[https://developer.mozilla.org/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Embedded_WebExtensions][https://developer.mozilla.org/Add-ons/WebExtensions/manifest.json/options_ui], currently not working due to {{bug|1418914}}.

'''Suggestion for add-on authors wishing to be compatible with Thunderbird 59: Wait!''' The fix for {{bug|1414398}} (see above) has arrived (2017-12-12). {{Bug|1419145}} is being analysed. {{Bug|1418914}} will be fixed and then inline options can be achieved via an embedded WebExtension.
