I’ve released TBExtInt 0.4 today. It’s now on AMO.

The code is a lot cleaner now then before, and it no longer requires ThunderBrowse being installed.

The extension is for both Firefox and Thunderbird. Install it into both of them for this process to work. Or if you have ThunderBrowse installed, you only need to install it into Firefox.

It barrows heavily from ThunderBrowse for the Thunderbird side of the code. The Firefox version just has a code reorganization.

You can download the new version at AMO:

and at:

NOTE: TBExtInt can’t be installed into Thunderbird if ThunderBrowse is currently installed. 3.2.1.8 will detect TBExtInt’s installation and remove it from Thunderbird automatically. More on that later.

Software: Firefox 0.9 to 3.0.*, Thunderbird 1.5-3.0a1

Tired of having to download extensions and drag them into Thunderbird, then delete the original file? Want to install Thunderbird extensions quickly within Firefox? This is the extension for you! Install this into both Firefox and Thunderbird for it to work. Thunderbird version not compatible with ThunderBrowse

Original Announcement:

I created a preview video of TBExtInt in action (I missed the settings window, oops. Just know that it looks good).

You can see it here.

The next version of ThunderBrowse contains a new feature where you can install extensions by adding -install and then the url of the xpi file (this only works on AMO hosted extensions [or for any website host [ex: www.google.com] listed in your TB whitelist [extensions.install.whitelist]]) to the thunderbird executable, like so:

“C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe” -install “https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/downloads/file/26603/
thunderbrowse-3.2.1.2-tb.xpi”

In doing so, ThunderBrowse will open a window with the XPI install prompt for that Extension. You can choose to cancel or install the extension.
