Description:
thunderbird disable sideloading since version 78, see here: Second change from top: https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/78.0/releasenotes/ https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2019/10/31/firefox-to-discontinue-sideloaded-extensions/ This practically means that thunderbird does not load addons (XPIs) from another place than the users thunderbird-profile. The language packs in /usr/lib/extensions are completely useless. To get a working lang pack, it must be downloaded by the user into their thunderbird-profile. The packages thunderbird-i18n-* could be deleted, IMHO. It's quite irritationg to have non-working lang packs, took me quite some time to find the reason. BTW, the URL in the thunderbird package is wrong, it's now https://www.thunderbird.net/, thunderbird does not belong to mozilla any longer. Additional info: * package version(s) * config and/or log files etc. * link to upstream bug report, if any Steps to reproduce: |
This task depends upon

I'm sure that language pack is no more necessary.
The language is set in "preferences" and a xpi file is download(see images).

BTW, why are firefox and thunderbird PKGBUILDs completely different?
