Mozilla core have disabled "legacy" add-ons (add-ons which are not based purely on WebExtensions) in Firefox 57 | '''Legacy add-ons''': Despite Mozilla core interface removals, Thunderbird 57-60 and beyond and Seamonkey will '''<u>still support</u> legacy add-ons <u>if</u> appropriate modifications are done to the add-on to adapt to the changed interfaces'''. Core interface changes and removals have come because Mozilla core have disabled "legacy" add-ons (add-ons which are not based purely on WebExtensions) in Firefox 57. | ||
'''WebExtension''': WebExtension does not exist yet in Thunderbird. Thunderbird will be adding WebExtension support ({{bug|1396172}}) while maintaining "legacy" add-ons and hybrid add-ons. | |||
'''Questions and Help''': Add-on developers can get help in the mozilla.dev.apps.thunderbird newsgroup (the traditional venue) or in maildev mailing list. (see [[Thunderbird/CommunicationChannels#If_you.27re_a_developer]] Please [[Thunderbird/CommunicationChannels#If_you.27re_a_developer|ask there]] before filing a bug report in bugzilla, because these forums have more people available to help. | |||
