thank you!
I have installed it on Puppy 4.0 (full hdd install) and despite warnings about long list of missing libraries
all seems to be fine ...
Any advice about these libraries? (ie should I try to do something about getting them?or is it OK without them?)
I am running Thunderbird in parallel on Puppy, Mepis and XP using common mail folder (in a separate partition)

I too installed Thunderbird from someone around here, and got a dumpload of missing dependencies from the pet manager, at least one page worth if not two.
Despite this it runs fine...
Any idea about this?

The missing libraries are in the thunderbird folder...this is added to the library path at runtime by the thunderbird launch script which the package manager does not know about.

Thunderbird updated to 3.0 Final
Connecting Firefox to Thunderbird 3.0
Posted: Mon 21 Dec 2009, 06:01
I am having trouble getting Firefox to call up Thunderbird when I try to "send link" from Firefox. I have tried the procedure at: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Default_mail_client, but for some reason it does not work.
In every other aspect the two packages work fine.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
cheers, Paul

from your link this does work for mailto..not sure about other functions as i remove them anyway....make sure you have the full path to thunderbird1. In Firefox's Location (URL) Bar, enter "about:config" and then press <enter> or click "Go".
2. With the cursor in the body of the resulting page, <right-click> the mouse.
3. From the pop-up menu, select "New".
4. From the next pop-up menu, select "String".
5. In the pop-up dialog box "Enter preference name", enter network.protocol-handler.app.mailto (without quotes), and click "OK" (You might wish to cut-and-paste that phrase to ensure correct spelling).
6. In the pop-up dialog box "? network.protocol-handler.app.mailto", enter /usr/bin/kmail [or the actual filesystem location of your desired email client] and click "OK". This should be the Full Path of the program, i.e. /usr/bin/kmail, not just the path /usr/bin.

edit..it does...email the page link brought up thunderbird composer too
thanks for the tip.

TB3 Profile manager not working?
Posted: Wed 30 Dec 2009, 22:44
I do not know if this is a puppy issue or a thunderbird bug, or that I am doing something wrong
But the command
thunderbird -ProfileManager
no longer works in Thunderbird 3. Does anybody know how to get into the profilemanager?

Well. It works in my thunderbird 3.0
Posted: Thu 31 Dec 2009, 00:03
Yep, I think it is a small gap in puppy 4.2.1
In console, the full command
/usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird-bin -ProfileManager
yields
error while loading shared libraries: cannot open shared object file: libnssutil3.so No such file or directory
So... now the question is where to get libnssutil3.so ?

that would fail because it needs the thunderbird launch script to locate libraries...not the cause of yer problem though/usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird-bin -ProfileManager
