Thunderbird 15

[HansV]

Although the official site still offers Thunderbird 14.0, third-party download sites already have the final version of Thunderbird 15.0. I assume that the Mozilla site will offer it within the next few hours too.
The main new feature is the more rounded Australis interface that also will be implemented in a future version of Firefox.

My thunderbird updated when I chose "Update" (surprise!!!). One gotcha was that while Lightning (the calendar addon) updated, the Google calendar provider didn't, and all my calendar events disappeared .

The answer was to go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunde ... /versions/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and download and install Version 0.16pre and everything's hunky-dory again.

Later:
When I upgraded my work PC this morning, the Google calendar provider didn't upgrade automagically, but running update on my addons picked up the new version 0.16 nicely.

And I'm still having trouble KEEPING the Quick Filter Bar (toolbar) hidden.
See Quick Filter Tried disabling some add-ons and also looked into the about:config list but didn't spot anything that might pertain to this?
Annoying that it can't have this setting stick.

Bob, I can't remember if you're a CCleaner user, but if so, this thread on the CCleaner forum might shed a little light, especially the last post.

Even if it doesn't, then maybe the "session.json" in your profile is the culprit, it occurs to me (without trying it) that it might be possible to set TB the way you want it, close down, then copy the session.json somewhere safe and use a script to copy that preferred version back, then run Thunderbird. (if that makes any sense...)

John,
Yes, I DO use CCleaner, so I unticked the "session" option in ccleaner TB applications tab, set the Quick Filter Bar to disabled. Ran CCleaner again and then TB. It seems to have worked and kept the QFB disabled!!!!
Thanks a million for the tip. I'll keep my eye on TB just to make sure but it does now appear to be working properly.

Glad to be of service
